@earthshine Those are the problems I would focus on engineering a workable solution to, instead of trying to retrofit the need for decent wifi security, removal of functional identity at a distance, and with no need for dealer, mechanic, or user configuration.

This video thumbnail image passed through my stream. To me, it looks like two cartoon race cars competing with each other over who can make better race car noises with their mouths.
