Sorry missed one final detail. This published standard is SAE J1939. There are others but this is the one I'm familiar with as I've used it many times in programming machine controllers that interface with the engine.
As has been stated before, being connected to the CAN bus allows any connected device to send out commands to the engine controller (ECU). Sure, an electronic log may not be initially programmed to do so but uploading malicious code can change that.
For example, there is a message called Torque and Speed Control (TSC) where you can command the engine to run at a particular speed. There is also a message (can't recall what it is at the moment) that can command the ECU to start or shut down the engine. These are commonly used when providing some sort of remote engine control capability.
These messages aren't a secret: they are part of a published standard for on-vehicle communication.
I just did t have the means to do the research to prove it; it was just logical hunch.
Agreed, as you asked a yes/no specific question and received a gesture in the affirmative.
One could argue the same thing with this contract case, however agreeing to go for drinks at 5 is not a legal commitment. A contract is a legally binding agreement and thus requires an increased level of unambiguity.
While Door Dash and Uber Eats may be convenient, if the local establishments are overall hurt by this then we risk losing them and all we will have left are the chain restaurants. Blah.
If you want to order food, go out once in a while, or order for takeout and go get it. Support local. Your taste buds will appreciate it.
Yogi Berra is that you?
ChargePoint has a new feature in some places called Waitlist.

Other places (including some high-traffic Tesla SuperChargers) charge an idle fee if you remain connected after charging. I think this idle fee needs to be something significantly higher than the cost of area paid parking to prevent the idle fee from becoming simply a paid parking fee.
Two years ago when my wife and I bought a Kia EV I'd have agreed with you; I was driving a Prius daily and she drove the Kia. Road trips did take some planning with the Kia, longest being about 300 miles one way.
When we got our Tesla to replace the Prius, my opinion changed. The key factor was the supercharger network. Much faster than DC fast charging and far more reliable, it flipped my opinion on EV road tripping.
Tesla did the groundwork the right way; not only did it build the cars but it alap built out the infrastructure needed to keep them on the road. That's the systems engineering approach and in my opinion was critical to Tesla's successful EV launch and production.
Sounds similar to pleading 'no contest' in traffic court..."I won't admit to doing what I did because the insurance company will jack my rates if I do."
The literate also recognize the error and mentally correct it.
Or another scam in the making...wonder where the collection plate spoils will go?
I was thinking the same...what the hell does this phrase even mean?
Wow, all those spam emails from decades ago claiming that Zuck was going to start charging for Facebook were right after all!

What the hell ever happened to actual summaries on Slashdot? The "summary" here is as long as three or four summaries from years long ago.
Hey editors, put a little effort into trimming submissions down into actual summaries.
Ok just stop, you're making me miss my old Motorola RAZR.
Don't panic.
