Well, this will be a fasinating issue to watch as it is. On 6/29/07, Gadi Evron <ge () linuxbox org> wrote:
So, someone sent this to NANOG: An IPv6 address for new cars in 3 years?
I can't wait to see people start creating their own firmware for their car. Car-to-Car and Car-to-Road networks will essentially have to happen in the future to have intelligent transportation networks including auto-driving, auto-parking, self-repair in motion and AI traffic management. ;) But, yeah......not addressing privacy and security issues at the application design phase will ensure that vehicles will become heavy weapons - a simple denial of service could cause a car in auto-drive mode to simply stop or go out of control while a botnet controller could create a controlled multi-car collision including a few specially selected infected tankers and big rigs. What's next? Turning the electric grid into a WMD? ;) -- B.K.
