Nissan's surreptitious black box causing a privacy concern? "An intrepid tinkerer has discovered yet another security issue with the Nissan Leaf: it could be revealing your location and speed to websites around the globe. The issue stems from CARWINGS, the telematics system that Nissan devised for the Leaf. '... when Leaf owners use Nissan's RSS reader to access sites like CNN, the New York Times, or this one, CARWINGS supplies ... the exact location of the vehicle — latitude and longitude — and even the speed at which the vehicle is traveling at the time of the request."

  • FUCK DA PO-LEAF

  • I bet the police like these they can send you a ticket when ever you speed. I bet there are a dozen other ways this can be used aganst you. You could shoot someone with a drug, use his car for a bank robery bring it back and he would have a heck of a time explaneing what happened (he was druged and doesn't know) ---- prison

  • Nissan fixed this already no more worries :)

  • lol this kind of technology can be in alot of gas powered cars they have out there today but of course they would never tell anyone about it

  • @SidneyBou That's an excellant point.... if it weren't for the fact you over-looked one tiny little point..... NO CRIMINAL WITH HALF A BRAIN IS GOING TO USE A GOD-DAMN ELECTRIC CAR AS A GET-AWAY-VEHICLE DURING THE COMMISION OF A CRIME!

  • @Will403536 I laughed heartily.

  • Holy Toledo. :(

    Behold our future in the making as the police state will grow with such technology. First it is private then the govt will force it on all of us.

  • now hackers not only get peoples computers! they can hack you car to! :D

  • evil pure evil

  • A hammer would fix it.....better yet, don't buy a Nissan Leaf! Just saying....lol
