💡 Is it possible to reverse engineer CAN messages when hacking a car?

Absolutely.

My colleague, Ronak Ghodasara, an embedded software engineer at Matrickz GmbH, talked our group through what the process would be to reverse engineer those messages.

Think - making the car accelerate faster, changing the car’s indicators, and even switching on or off the car headlights.

Which do you prefer - solving scientific problems or challenges that affect the world right now?

For Tom Jellicoe, Cambridge Ph.D. in physics and consultant for Sensors & Devices at TTP plc, his journey started in one and has evolved into the other.

In my fascinating discussion with Tom, he said, “I really enjoyed the elements of research and solving scientific problems, but my passion really is working on challenges that are going to affect the real world in a way that I can measure myself.”

When it comes to working out, there’s a steadfast rule I’ve been learning - quality over quantity.

If you do a quality workout, you could spend thirty minutes or so. 💪

But, if you do a workout for say an hour, where you aren’t properly executing the moves, you could hurt yourself.

💭 Why is this lesson important?

To measure if you’re accomplishing your goal, my fitness coach gave an example of examining if you could do proper squat

This means five reps of your body weight of front squats.

🤔 What do you think - is this goal accomplishable?

Traffic in the United States and traffic in Germany are fundamentally different. 🚗

For example, the speed at which traffic moves - traffic moves slower in the US than in Germany.

With that in mind, it begs the question are there localization challenges in an autonomous traffic management system?

Tal Kreisler says if you take a citizen from New York, Munich, or Rome, all of them have one thing in common - if you asked them would they wait for a traffic light at 2 AM in the morning, they would say yes.

This answer provides so much insight into the question - would the system change?

Tal says yes and no.

The infrastructure would not change, but the system will adapt wherever it is.

Where did my passion for biohacking come from?

One day I went to work and I just felt tired.

Not just tired, but TIRED.

No amount of coffee could make me feel awake and alert.

I was in my mid-30, and I had to ask myself, “what’s going on?”

That’s when I came across the book, “Bulletproof” by Dave Asprey.

There I was introduced to biohacking.

And believe me when I tell you - I found more energy than I thought I had.

How can you hack the OBD2 Port?

Will that help you to hack a car?

PHALGUN UPADHYAYA, the Senior Software Engineer of Matrickz GmbH, talked our listeners through the steps.

Have you ever had lofty goals that seemed impossible?

Then you know exactly how I feel.

I have set out on my five-year Olympic-level fitness journey, and right now that goal seems unattainable. 💪

But, with the help of my fitness coach, Maritta Becker, who is a three-time ice hockey Olympian, I know that reaching this goal is possible.

She says there are many lessons to be learned, including:

1. Learning how to take care of your body.

2. Doing proper workouts with the right technique that highlight:

a. Strength

b. Stability

c. Mobility

d. Flexibility

e. Coordination

🤔 What do you think - is this five-year goal insane?

When it comes to traffic congestion, I’m sure we all have a lot of questions.

Namely - why is this traffic light taking so long?

I talked with Tal Kreisler, CEO & Co-Founder of NoTraffic about his autonomous traffic management technology.

He said, “It’s the first solution in the world that automates traffic light systems in real-time with the goal of solving major traffic challenges. In short - NoTraffic is laying the digital infrastructure for various mobility services.”

Listen to his full explanation about autonomous traffic management technology here.

Did you know that there are about six steps you can take to hack a car?

Six steps - it’s so simple.

And one of those steps is the holy grail…

Accessing the CAN bus.

If you get there, you’re practically in.

Tal Kreisler, CEO & Co-Founder of NoTraffic, said once we have been exposed to something that improves our lives dramatically the acceptance rate goes super fast.

Think for example - cell phones.

Everyone has one these days.

But, there are some areas where improvements are trying to be made…

That takes more time being accepted.
