    As is obvious, I hadn't read all of the article, so sorry for that. I had heard of this a bit back and was just trying to share what I thought was the article I had read before.

    I agree that cars should separate the bus controlling functionality from the bus that controls less critical things like I now know planes do.

    I also agree that he gives security researchers a bad name in many regards, for over inflating his claim as I now know, and for even considering doing what he claimed to do.

    Again sorry about the bad info, and thanks for pointing it out to me.

      Hoping my reply back didn't come off combative. Was afraid of that. Wasn't my intent at all.

      The mistake isn't your fault, I blame what shit passes for "journalism" these days where they take 10 paragraphs to explain how horrible it could be, but only slip in a couple of sentences showing that it really didn't quite happen the way it was described. Drives eyeballs, drives ads.

        It didn't feel combative to me, corrections to mistakes are greatly appreciated. And even if I am not completely to blame, I still feel bad for helping to spread misinformation.
