[ausev] EV Electrical vulnerabilities, was Filmmaker looking...

[jtp]

All,
        Replacement of computer integrated circuit chips or their
reprogramming in ICE's, furthermore, is no "slam-dunk" as it is in desk-top
computers.
You  must understand also that the automobile is the most vicious electrical
environment for an integrated circuit as well as for thier programs
recorded.  Integrated circuits within autos are at the other end of the
voltage-supply reliability continuum, if you will.
  Merely having a short circuit in your cigarrette lighter power port can
throw a sufficient power surge to cause program damages.
  Furthermore, I see that in the not-too-distant  future, EV's will be a
"must" or "necessity" in addition to an ULEV  ICE, for a variety of
economical reasons as well as environmental ones too.
  Add to these facts, that manufacturer's essentially have a monopoly in the
reprogramming of vehicles (if they were to be able to, or desire to afford
to properly pay an expert reprogrammer in the first place to do it, and/or
the owner the desire to pay for it in the second place).
  The "flimsiness" adjective utilized in this discussion applies to at least
some integrated circuit designs themselves,  rather than the strength of
these discussions, as can be      often      proven to anyone, with
accredited scanning.  "Often" meaning  non-tangental.
