Tangentially, I wonder if anyone here knows of communities that have cropped up around car hacking. If my next car will basically be a big computer on wheels, I'll be just as interested in the hackability of it as any other electronics I purchase.



Car hacking village at DefCon grows every year. Go check it out next year. I'm using some of what I learned and bought from last time to enable my car's steering wheel buttons to control volume and seek on my phone via bluetooth.

Also check out these guys: https://comma.ai/ if you buy the right car the entire thing is drive by wire and entirely computer controllable.


Try searching for the groups that reverse-engineer ECU's in order to override them with sportier tunes


The last time I found anything half decent, they'd built it into an app that used IAPs and a "credit" system (just like the decent carrier unlocking for phones).
