[OSM-talk] Google/OnStar/GM integration in the Volt

Interesting article, they are putting way too much in this car:

So the paranoid in me worries that not only does OnStar track your every
move, you are also a remote drone for Google.... ;-)

It's also moderately concerning when you combine this with a recent report
about how it is totally possible to 'Pown' all of the car's system through
a device connected with the low-speed CAN bus; even to the point of
locking individual wheels at speed, turning off head lights and giving
false speedo readings.
