Understand and also hypothesize that RFID's will, too soon, be embedded into OEM
components. Plus all sorts of after market components/systems
That will then be captured into the PROM and read by the vehicle OEM
Of course all encrypted with the OEM the only one with the key(s)
I licensed out the basis for RFID's when was in SunLabs. Smart Chip and was
for the good of mankind (medical cards and ID cards back then)
Then all too soon strain gauges at key, high stress areas.
All of the information is there and now all it will take is to stitch
it all together. Especially now that memory is cheap enough to have
lots and lots...
Consumer fraud has done this and bean counter mentality in all OEMs loves this
potential 'control' over their products.
Feel for Ford, but just a tiny bit...as they are the ones who brought out their
6.0L diesel, so they basically brought it on themselves....as any OEM who produces
an inferior product does to themselves
Back on the Japanese...they dropped bad dealerships like hot potatoes
and dealt fairly with their customers. Detroit lost me on their cars
back in the 70's. Still a Detroit full sized truck guy, but at times
they make it tough...and the fact that the Japanese CEO's and upper
management has not adopted Detroit (American corporate) bean counter
bottom line metrics. The latest Toyota throttle fiasco is telling...
{edit}....Almost went back to Detroit cars after dad passed and got
his Caddy STS. Wonderful and finally knew why all the grand kids fought
to drive him around town in his Caddy...till the coolant started to
go low often. Finally found some info over at my boy racer forum...a
the local machine shops would touch it. Only S Cal shops and mostly
for sand rail applications.
Or that GM had direct injection in the early 2000's but bean counters
thought such a great thing, they would squeeze the market by only
allowing it on their flagship...CTS's....they lost their chance to Ford
who brought the EgoBoost trucks with direct injection
Black box recorders have been installed in OEM vehicles for over a
decade. Again, now that memory is cheap enough, all of the vehicle
computers are stuffed with enough so that they don't have to overwrite
themselves as often, if at all
components. Plus all sorts of after market components/systems
