Remote Control Hacks: The Self-Driving Car Hack
Learn how to hack your self-driving car's computer system and take control of its navigation, speed, and entertainment system.
Why Hack Your Self-Driving Car?
With the rise of self-driving cars, the possibilities of hacking are endless! You can:
- Steer the car to the nearest Taco Tuesday sale
- Turn off the annoying voice assistant's nagging
- Change the car's name to something more creative (e.g., "Betsy the Self-Driving Queen")
Getting Started
First, you'll need to find a self-driving car that's vulnerable to hacking. Look for one that's been sitting on the lot for months, with a "For Sale" sticker that says "As Is" in all caps. That's your target!
Tools Needed:
- A laptop with a USB cable that's not too short
- A can of spray paint (for the car's nameplate)
- A bag of potato chips (for snacking while you work)
