Hijackers Remotely Hijack a Jeep

This is interesting. Jeep Hijacking

 

The narrator on that video clip is on steroids!!!
Why do the younger generation speak like a machine gun?
I get the impression that if they don't rattle off as quickly as they can - they might miss something else going on around them.
Is it because their video games encourage speed of actions?
It's like the answer phone message that relates several phone numbers to ring and you have to play it back a couple of times to ensure you heard the right numbers.
I understand that the Wireless hack was to prove vulnerabilities in Chrysler's comp and was under control "nearly" all the time.
It would be a bit scary to be the driver sitting there just in case something went wrong. Neil.

 

I'm amazed they even tried something like this. Some one could get seriously injured or killed.

 

They needed to prove it could be done on the open road with traffic around. Imagine if there had been a convoy of Chrysler Jeeps!!! Neil.

 

Then Amazon can track the convoy's progress using their drones. Why not develop SmartDrones so they can track and tally points for two new games called Remote Bumper Jeeps and Remote DodgeCars where you can have pedestrians crossing major thoroughfares and try not to get run down by the Jeeps. Amazon can present the winner with a $100 Amazon Gift Card and one free Drone delivery.

 

Hmm. Yet another reason to stay with my '06 TJ instead of moving to that JK Unlimited I've been coveting...

 

I got a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Limited with only 88,967.6 miles on it.

 

Not to mind your business, but do you know Fiat-Chrysler is being forced to buy back a half-million autos for safety and reliability reasons?

I was only half-listening to the story on the radio while commuting but it seems a series of the Cherokee's was in the list.

Can't hurt to check it out.

 

Where can I find out about this. Do you have a link.

Thanks. Don't see mine on the list.

 

But for book value only. Same difference if you were trading it in.

 

Yes, it appears you dodged the bullet on that one.

There is not a Wrangler anywhere on the list in any form, but out of concern it will impact resell prices I've backed off from putting the TJ up for sale while I follow the story a bit.

 

You can go to Google and type in Vehicle recalls and there you can choose from several different ways to look and see if you are on any list.
