Interesting! I wonder if anyone came to harm while this was happening?

on star or the gps systems are kind of inaccurate, sometime it leads drivers to a wall or to drive into someone's home.

even mapquest is inaccurate. man if the FBI are followning onstar or other gps system we are all in trouble!

Geeohn, I agree, I have run into many instances where On-Star fails to work at all. From not unlocking the door to not sending a signal in a wreck. I originally thought it had to do with meterological conditions, maybe it actually wasnt working due to this type of activity.

The fact it has the capability to be used in such a way gives me all the more reason not to buy a GM product.

I agree, as long as the hardware is in the car I would bet they can use it to listen in on you. If it is challenged in the future I bet the government will use the patriot act to defend the use of it.

I saw on the news that they will use a new system on cars if people don't pay their car insurance & car related payments on time. the new sytem will shut down on the car leaving the car unable to start and becoming immovable.

why dont they just put bugs in the car in the first place people?
.... if they wanted to listen in on cars sold from dealerships they could just put bus in them anyway...

Not a surprise....

Your government (US) installs trojan miners alongside the AOL browser. Therefore, do not use AOL...unless you're happy with the big cheeses looking over your shoulder while you're sitting at your desktop.

I'm just a little confused- why would they care what I say in my car or in my private home....I mean - why target ordinary citizens. I can't imagine they have the time or will to be that controling. Believe me NO ONE wants to hear me singing in my car! While they may be doing this for "certian individuals" I can't imagine why they would want to track EVERYONE!
