The trust required throughout the system is multi-layered and complex: the developer trust, the ecosystem trust, and the buyer’s trust. And at least one has no solution.
A Tiktok is going viral with a hack to help you find your car in a crowded parking lot, or just track it down after it has been towed. The trick, posted by the Museum of Science in Boston, is pretty mind-blowing, and not just because it involves using your head to amplify radio waves. That's right, it's as simple as holding your key fob on the side of your cranium when hitting the unlock button. But the science behind the hack is what's getting all of the attention.

Two researchers have shown how a Tesla and possibly other cars can be hacked remotely without any user interaction. They carried out the attack from a drone.
This was the result of research conducted last year by Ralf-Philipp Weinmann of Kunnamon and Benedikt Schmotzle of Comsecuris. The analysis was initially carried out for the Pwn2Own 2020 hacking competition the contest offered a car and other significant prizes for hacking a Tesla but the findings were later reported to Tesla through its bug bounty program after Pwn2Own organizers decided to temporarily eliminate the automotive category due to the coronavirus pandemic.
