Slashdot | GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble: "GMC, in an effort to give their vehicles more appeal to consumers, will begin offering an 'OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics' program for free, where GM will remotely scan your vehicle for problems once a month via it's OnStar system. GM has had this ability for a while, however it was always 'On Request'. OnStar is already automatically notified in the event of an airbag deployment, and can remotely unlock your vehicle. While this seems handy, I am interested if anyone here fears the security implications of the OnStar system's power?"

Damnit! I want some OnStar! Or just a GPS system in my car. Of course I don't go anywhere so it is just my need...um...want for new technology. Im so sad. *sob*
