That simply isn’t the case. The ballot initiative was meant to stop the wireless diagnostics loophole, either requiring wired diagnostics as in the past or a compliant wireless version. I trust my bank to be able to work securely wirelessly, I have friends with wireless insulin pumps that manage to not get hacked and killed, the car already has these wireless diagnostics protocols built in, they’re just not an open standard, and there are a million and one ways to implement a standardized open protocol securely. The NHTSA is simply giving in to corporate lobbying here.
