Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard A. Clarke said that what is known about the crash is “consistent with a car cyber attack.” He was quoted as saying: “There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers—including the United States—know how to remotely seize control of a car. So if there were a cyber attack on [Hastings’] car — and I’m not saying there was, I think whoever did it would probably get away with it.”
I have never forgotten that case, and remote control of cars has been demonstrated IRL in the time since, so I’m definitely convinced of the possibility.
Oh wow - haven’t heard about this in a minute. I was in Los Angeles for an internship when this happened and I remember how weird the circumstances of his death were. Thanks for the reminder!
I think this is the point she should start fearing for her life.
A car accident or random violence could always just, y’know, happen.
That’s a very fair fear. 2 dead demos 1 almost kid napped that wacko that charged the white house and all the bombs that got sent to Obama.
Also Kirk Advenger whacko’s. Her and Bernie along with progressive YouTubers are probably the top of their list.
It’s rumored that the CIA hacked Michael Hasting’s car and killed him before he could expose the CIA Director.
