On June 11th, 2024, we discovered a set of vulnerabilities in Kia vehicles that allowed remote control over key functions using only a license plate.

Agreed. But I am getting more and more concerned we won’t always be able to keep or buy an old car and avoid these pitfalls
I’m likely 3 to 6 years away from having to buy a new/used car and I don’t think il be able to (or actually want) a 20 year old car
Yeah I have to replace the suction side AC line on mine and the OE part alone is about 350-400 and absolutely impossible to find 💀
