The CAN bus is the internal communication network for the car. Any infotainment system that has access to the CAN bus and has a cellphone module included can theoretically be hacked in the same way.

There are multiple CAN buses in any vehicle, connected by gateways that filter messages. Infotainment systems are not connected to the engine CAN bus except on poorly designed vehicles.

If this is a gym where you go to level up your VR skills or something at a computer I get being upset by this but what possible thing is there to whine about if it's just exercise bikes with VR helmets? That seems like a good idea that would work pretty well and doesn't seem like it's hurting you at all.

Wearing VR gear while sweating sounds super gross and uncomfortable. Especially when it's not for personal use, but shared by everyone who visits the gym.

A videogame screen that's connected to an exercise bike sounds like a good idea, but I don't see why it needs VR.

I could be naďve here but if the trucks I worked on almost a decade ago got this right I have to assume more often than not infotainment units aren't on the ECU bus. Manufacturers are that cheap but wow if that persisted past the Jeep incident.

VR can make exercise stuff much more immersive and entertaining. Something like Beat Saber or Thrill of the Fight is way more compelling than Wii Sports/Fit. And that's in its current state, which is admittedly still kinda janky and primitive, only going to get better from here.

You're making up a false dichotomy for no reason. A "forgotten mic" still needs all the signal processing to clean up the sound to be usable, and a "reversible speaker" is the vast majority of speakers in consumer electronics - it's the cheaper and easier way to build such things.

What if I crack open the device and find, say, a speaker connected to a dedicated I2S DAC with no ADC functionality. They sprung for the extra expense, I guess. Does this setup make it easier or harder for an attacker to turn it into a reversible speaker and monitor someone?

Yup. If it's a buck cheaper per chassis not to do it right, then it is 100% not getting done right. If it's FiatChrysler, then it will probably not get done right even if it costs them money, because they are just that loving bad.

As someone who wrenches on a lot of cars this manifests in such insane ways. Some of my favorites are plastic drain plugs on some Rover rears. Rover was in dire straits at the time, so there was definitely a lot of accounting pressure. Now a plastic plug was an engineering decision - a very good one - for the fill. With a regular metal plug for the drain. Some bean counter obvious noticed that this plastic part was cheaper and fit in the same size hole and welp, there's the new BOM for the next model year. Engineering concerns be damned, it saved $1 per chassis, and would PROBABLY make it through warranty.

Hey, how about a massive HIPPA violation in the making.

quote:

Los Angeles medical center Cedars-Sinai is currently piloting a program that places Amazon Echos in more than 100 patient rooms. The smart speakers use Aiva, a voice assistant platform for healthcare, and is intended to help patients communicate with their caregivers. Letting patients use Alexa to perform basic tasks like changing TV channels also frees up nurses to perform medical care.

Backed by Amazon’s Alexa Fund and the Google Assistant Investment Program, Aiva also participated in the Cedars-Sina accelerator program for healthcare startups. The platform also works with Google Home.

After a patient tells Alexa what they need, Aiva routes it to the right person’s mobile phone. For example, if someone needs medicine, their request goes to a registered nurse. If a response takes too long, Aiva reroutes the request “up the chain of command.”

Voice assistants are currently being tested in several capacities in healthcare. For example, voice assistants in Boston Children’s intensive care unit let nurses ask for administrative information, like who is the charge nurse on duty or how many beds are available in a ward. Boston Children’s also piloted voice-enabled versions of the checklist used to validate organs before transplant, with prompts to help reduce error. KidsMD, a program powered by Alexa, is meant to be used by parents at home to help them decide if their kids need to see a doctor.

Amazon still holds the top position in the smart speaker market, and likewise Alexa is currently the voice assistant most often used by hospitals, according to Healthcare IT News. So far, its devices have been used in Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Commonwealth Care Alliance, Northwell Health in New York, and Libertana Home Health in Los Angeles, in addition to Cedars-Sinai.

Yep, the very same. These things probably made very little profit from the start but with end-stage capitalism and the desperation of billionaires to find something with incredible growth (and what better than Mobility 2.0?), they’re throwing money at dumb poo poo.

Hyper-capitalism leaving nothing but broken poo poo in its wake is hardly new, but at least this one is helping point out that the free market loving shucks at transportation infrastructure and is getting more people to notice the abysmal status of public transit in the US.

Oh yeah, the “Uber Shuttle” poo poo was a riot when it came out and I honestly thought it was a joke until it became apparent they were dead serious. That said, all respect to them, their blunder lets you shortcut conversations about transit in the US to “We put the smartest techies with the best AI available on the task of transportation in the US, and they managed to invent the bus. Can we please talk about public transit in earnest, now?”

Those conversations got Gwinnett county, a county Northeast of Atlanta, to agree to a vote on expanding public transit from the city to the county for the first time in decades. Thank you, tech bros, for pissing away your cash to prove a point that sane people have been arguing for years. :patriot:
