Just wondering if it is possible to remotely hack a 2013 Mercedes C250 instrument system and set throttle to full? Or would a separate remote control device need planting on the vehicle to effect such an outcome?
Sorry. Lost the quote codes...
http://autos.yahoo.com/mercedes-benz/c-class/2013/c250-coupe/features.htmlIt looks like there is electrical assistance for steering, throttle, and brake controls. Whether these can override operator inputs to the point of causing a lethal accident is an open question.
A hack versus an external device is also an open question. There certainly is a capability to remotely operate subsystems.
I'm thinking I will be sticking with older model, manual vehicles.
