Researchers at the University of South Carolina and Rutgers University tested two tire pressure monitoring systems and found the security to be lacking. They were able to turn the low-tire-pressure warning lights on and off from another car traveling at highway speeds from 40 meters (120 feet) away and using low-cost equipment. A video about the research is available here.
"While spoofing low-tire-pressure readings does not appear to be critical at first, it will lead to a dashboard warning and will likely cause the driver to pull over and inspect the tire," said the report (PDF). "This presents ample opportunities for mischief and criminal activities, if past experience is any indication."

or causing cars to accelerate? I do not like to have to depend on electronics to get in or out of a car.. would never buy a new car for this and many reasons regarding fraud and waste.. and where's the electric, all-electric car? I know, we've had threads telling what happened when the electric cars were ordered destroyed, remember?
I've seen some weird stuff. Latest, a very good friend's mother just happened to get run down in front of her place; driver escaped, of course.
