Rust on breaks can be an issue in emergency breaking. Most modern EVs normally use the break intermittently during normal operations to prevent rust from building up over time.

Actually, very much yes. The device to be tracked needs to be exploited somehow in order to run the code to advertise its existence via BLE.

FTA's "Architecture of nRootTag":

Yeah - this is really really cool, but if you have code running on the target device, why relay its location via FindMy? If you are already talking to an external server to get pre-computed keys, there are easier ways to share location than FindMy… I guess if the target device doesn’t have GPS, FindMy does get you closer than other geolocation methods.

Yes, not having GPS is one reason. The other one (less good) is that you can continue to track the device even when it has no network connection (as long as it's turned on and near an iPhone).

But there probably aren't many situations where someone has a network-enabled device turned on, disconnected from the network, but in range of at least one iPhone that has a network connection. Perhaps on a plane?

The patch for iOS is not to stopp the potential hijack via a Trojan software but to stopp the mesh of iOS devices to broadcast the find my messages around.

Starship would probably follow a ballistic trajectory like intercontinental missiles, so i would suspect you could use the same intercepters.

Man i would love to live in your perfect world where you never have to interact with 3rd party data.

Let alone malicious third parties.

The car gives you a 10 seconds heads up.

From the article:

"[...] Unlike all currently available driver-assist systems, Drive Pilot is designed to give drivers a 10-second warning before switching off; engineers had to make sure that, in every situation, the system would safely and faultlessly hand over control. [...]"
