    Details of Reporter Hastings' Death Remain Elusive | San Diego 6
    Some reports said there was a curve in the road, also not true; in fact it’s straight freeway-to-freeway. Also, there was no damage to the median curb, only fire discoloration. But the most significant missing evidence was the absence of any skid marks—even though the car made a 60-degree turn into a palm tree. Research of this topic reveals a new angle to this story, namely —Boston Brakes.

    This theory was explained by a former Marine Gordon Duff who refers to the “Boston Brakes” technique, in which “drive by wire” cars, specifically a Mercedes Benz, can be manipulated remotely to simulate an out-of-control accident, according to his Veterans Today story (The 2010 story is a must read). The story details are eerily similar to Hastings fiery accident scene as there were no skid marks.

    Adding credence to the possible car-hacking scenario is former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke. Clarke told The Huffington Post that a single-vehicle crash is “consistent with a car cyber attack. There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers -- including the United States -- know how to remotely seize control of a car.”

    No matter how you slice this highly suspicious car accident, a Mercedes is not going to explode into flames without assistance. Car aficionados say fires in new cars happen for three main reasons, “running the engine out of oil, running the engine out of coolant, or a mammoth car mangling accident, that leaves the hot side of the battery to short out against the frame before it reaches the fuse panel.”

    Hackers demonstrated their ability to use a laptop to take total control of a vehicle. They could jerk the wheel, slam on the brakes, tighten the seatbelt, forge speedometer readouts, disable the brakes, disable the headlights, etc. Check out the video with Forbes journalist Andy Greenberg.

    Lol "hacking" a car is just simply hilarious and outlandish. Maybe on an absolutely new car which has drive by wire for steering, gas pedal and brakes but I don't know of any vehicles who have all three. Even 2013 models your brake is still mechanically attached to a hydraulic system... and your steering as well is mechanically attached to a steering box.

    Take the tinfoil hat off :)
