Interview "Plane Hacker" Chris Roberts has called for countries to pressure manufacturers into improving the lamentable state of transportation security.

Cars are turning into computers on wheels and airplanes have become flying data centres, but this increase in power and connectivity has largely happened without designing in adequate security controls.
A country can apply pressure on manufacturers, Roberts said. The question should be how other governments follow the Israeli example.

"I put a network sniffer on the big truck to see what it was sharing. [...] The GPS, the telemetry, the tracking. There's a lot of data this thing is sharing."

"If you turn it off you might be voiding warranties or [bypassing] security controls," Roberts said, adding that there was also an issue about who owns the data a car generates. "Is it there to protect me or monitor me?" he mused.
