didn’t know how hackable cars are:

- modern cars send messages from the electronics through to a bus (engine, wheel, breaks, etc)
- they almost all use the same protocol “CAN” bus
- can just plug in a compatible device, intercept and start sending messages and the car just does it.

This is how comma.ai open source self driving car add on works.

cool talk

Talking over CAN bus is pretty common for robotics too! Esp cars though. Also generally a fan of open pilot and what came out of it (tinygrad) which was spun out into its own thing
