OPLIN 4Cast #686: Connected cars know too much
February 19th, 2020

[image: self-driving autopilot mode] In libraries, we take pains to clear
patron session data off of our computers. But are the auto dealerships and
rental agencies as cautious? Turns out there's no way to be sure that
previous drivers of your rental car (or owners of your new used car) have
deleted the apps and accounts that gave them access to the car's data. And
that's just the tip of the iceberg of problems that come when your car is
part of the Internet of Things.

   - When Your Used Car is a Little Too ‘Mobile’
   <https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/02/when-your-used-car-is-a-little-too-mobile/>
   [*Krebs on Security*] "If you’re in the market for a used car you should
   probably check whether it’s possible to reset the previous owner’s control
   and/or information before purchasing it, or at least ask the dealership to
   help you ensure this gets done once the purchase is made. And if you’re
   thinking of selling your car, it’s a good idea to clear your personal data
   from the vehicle first."
   - Rental cars can be remotely started, tracked, and more after customers
   return them

   [*Ars Technica*] "Enterprise said rental agreements remind customers to
   wipe their data from cars upon their return. The problem is that the
   reminder doesn’t warn renters of the risks that come when a previous
   customer’s app remains paired to the vehicle they are renting."
   - Vehicle Security: What a Cybertruck Should Really Look Lik
   <https://securityboulevard.com/2020/01/vehicle-security-what-a-cybertruck-should-really-look-like/>e
   [*Security Boulevard*] "As vehicles increasingly become
   technology-centric, manufacturers must make cybersecurity a priority for
   the security of passengers and data."
   - Driver stranded after connected rental car can’t call home
   <https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/02/driver-stranded-after-connected-rental-car-cant-call-home/>
   [*Ars Technica*] "At first, the company's plan was to send a tow truck
   to tow the Prius a few miles closer to civilization, but that would be too
   easy."
