I’m sorry, they do what now? Why would you even do that?

Well I used to be able to control the ABS on individual wheels with VAG cars (Audi, Bentley, Skoda & VW) in the mid 00's.

I could make a VAG car hand brake turn going into a corner all from a computer remotely, just by switching on the ABS braking on the rear wheel on the opposite side to a turn. I could control the throttle remotely as well.

Why are people shocked at the way these global corporations are treating security and privacy?

Its only their lawyers that are protecting them.
