A car or automobile is a motor vehicle with wheels, usually driving on roads.

Car crash

Full article: Car crash

Car crashes, like plane crashes and other such 'accidents' can be used as covert assassination tools. Several prolific people or important researchers have met their demise this day, such as demolition expert Danny Jowenko, Princess Diana or Ryazan Incident-investigator Otto Lacis.

According to secret documents released by WikiLeaks, the CIA can use everyday cars and every device that controls it to gain control of the car and crash the occupants to death -The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age

Vault 7

Wikileaks released Vault 7, a collection of documents that were released by the organisation in March 2017. The documents contained classified information and details about the cyber espionage tools and hacking capabilities of the Central Intelligence Agency, one of the biggest leaks of the CIA working in the 2000s. One scary detail was the evidence that the CIA was able to hack into the lives of people by virtually every electronic device in their vicinity.[1]

Deep events

One well known instance in which a car crash brought about a deep event was the Susurluk incident. The scandal was that a car crash that took place on 3 November 1996 in the small town of Susurluk, in Turkey's Balıkesir Province resulted in the deaths of three of the passengers: Abdullah Çatlı, a former ultra-rightist militant wanted by police for multiple murders and drug trafficking; Huseyin Kocadağ, a senior police official; and beauty queen Gonca Us (Çatlı's girlfriend). Sedat Bucak, an MP, escaped with a broken leg and fractured skull. The Susurluk crash was a key event in the unravelling of the deep state in Turkey.

Assassination

Full article: Michael Hastings
Full article: Rated 4/5 Seth Rich

In recent cases in the 2010s, several relatively unknown researchers or liaisons of journalists have met their demise in very heavy car crashes. These crashes were all reported as accidents - sometimes even drug-induced - although follow up research proved that to not have been the definitive factor in their deaths. Another strange coincidence is that often the FBI and other police forces lied that nothing was confiscated from these victims. The FBI did take the belongings of Seth Rich and refused to admit it until FOIA requests proved otherwise, which even in the heavily polarised US media landscape, caused several CCM to question the CIA and FBI's motives.[2][3][4]

Michael Hastings was cremated without any consent from him family following a high-speed crash hours after contacting Wikileaks - possibly regarding an investigation into CIA Director John Brennan. Wikileaks revealed them both to be in contact with Wikileaks. Wikileaks offered money for information about both deaths, and argued Seth Rich was assasinated.[5]

Mandatory Speed Limiters And Data Recorders

By 2024, new cars in the European Union will have installed mandatory equipment designed to monitor driving data and limit speed. New cars will have to come equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR) as standard,using the same technology as the black boxes found in aircraft (presumably minus the voice recording feature). It keeps track of driving data such as speed, location, and even the amount of brake force applied. Officially, this data is recorded only in the event of an accident. Furthermore, the data recorded will remain anonymous, and will only be used to improve infrastructure and the vehicles themselves.[6]

All cars will also have to be fitted with ISA, or Intelligent Speed Assist. Similar to how traditional adaptive cruise control works, the ISA system knows the speed limit of certain areas, and will give an audible and visual alert to the driver warning them that they are exceeding the speed limit. The ISA can be disabled, but is designed to automatically reactivate on every startup.[6]

Low energy vehicle

The car manufacturing industry increases power, size and features with each generation, but only under pressure in the 90s Volkswagen in Germany built a real 3 Liter car which still had enough comfort for the average buyer - the 'Lupo 3L TDI' in 1999.[7][8] The car however was expensive/overpriced, got little advertising and with limited success was discontinued after a few years while the company focused on a top-class car (the Phaeton, which flopped), and the Touareg (a heavy SUV). Another attempt for a 3 Liter car was made with a modification of a Golf 5 by a tuning company, which achived the consumption by reducing weight. The tuner concluded, after being able to reduce by ~400 KG (1,400 KG initially), that despite climate change and resource scarcity, "corporations place value on other things in their research".[9]

Studies in the area with concept and consumer line cars that were modified for fuel efficiency go back to the mid 70s.[10]

Remote Disabling

Can the Government Hack Into Your Car? - The Young Turks

Starting in the 2020s, car manufacturers licenced a US patent to "retire" cars when customers do not pay their bills. Ford is the first company to obtain a patent allowing the car to drive away autonomously in the future.[11]

Volkswagen refused in 2023 to release the location of a vehicle that was stolen with a 2-year-old child in the backseat. This happened after the American police immediately contacted the car manufacturer to locate the stolen car via GPS. Volkswagen only wanted to respond to this after an unpaid invoice (of just $150) had first been paid.[12]

Device built by Samy Kamkar.[13] Proof of concept lecture was held at Defcon 23.[14]

Remote opening

By the mid 2010s security researchers were able to copy RF signals of car keys with relativley cheap equipment and could open cars with the intercepted signal.[15][16][17] Any brand is susceptible to this kind of attack and there is little that can be done in defense.[18] When a car is opened, an attacker could then create another key for himself via the industry standard OBD interface.[19]
