This is a surprise? I saw this coming long ago. The only reason we are getting “smart” everything is for the manufacturers to add new revenue streams.

HAHA Car tuners will be still around but instead of giving us more power by hacking the ECU, it will be to hack the on board advertiding modules!! HAHA!
