Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027

Lemmy

Hoping it can be defeated with a strategically placed piece of tape

In the blackbox computer?

Infrared sensors would be defeat-able. Integrated telemetry stuff (speed, driving habits, aggressiveness) no so much.

Depends on if they’re tied to the CAN bus. If so, all sensors can be spoofed.

Tie them to a CANNOT bus

Whoever downvoted you doesn’t appreciate humour.

Or maybe they know some full-form of CANNOT

Well, I literally CANNOT.

Personally, I’m wondering what a big magnet might do to something like this.

Almost nothing is magnetic storage anymore. So unless you’re spinning the magnet fast near the thing, you’re not likely to affect the device at all.
