Troy Hunt: Controlling vehicle features of Nissan LEAFs across the globe via vulnerable APIs
On the one hand, I want this level of hackability and control over my own car. On the other hand, giving that level of control over my vehicle to anyone who can read my VIN through my windshield seems like a sub-optimal user experience.

I absolutely don't want this kind of hackability or control anywhere near my own car, precisely because I don't want anyone else to have it. Even if that kind of access could be engineered in safely, I don't believe that it ever will be, because the manufacturers won't be doing it for me, but for whatever division of their company it is that tries to make extra money by selling long term support contracts.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
