[Autox] On-Star makes car theft impossible?

[Mark J Bradakis]

I can't recall where I heard or read the story, but OnStar may make it
easier for some folks to steal your car.  Apparently some guys hacked
into the system and from their computers were able to do things like
apply the brakes, shut off the motor and such to random vehicles.

So someone might be able to remotely unlock your doors, start your
engine, and drive away.  Well, except for perhaps a physical interlock
on the transmission that keeps it from being put in gear without a
key.

The wonders of modern technology.

Resistance is futile.
You will be assimilated.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
