Global Software Chaos: Could Our Cars Be Next? | MSN CrowdStrike Catastrophe

Today’s global software chaos has caused absolute pandemonium, grounding flights, disrupting banking and healthcare services, and hitting countless industries. A faulty software update from CrowdStrike led to widespread IT outages, leaving many to face the dreaded blue screen of death. This incident has raised a critical question: could a similar catastrophe strike our cars?
Join the BrownCarGuy as he explores the terrifying potential of software vulnerabilities in modern, connected vehicles and the implications for our everyday lives.
In this video, we’ll break down the details of today’s CrowdStrike fiasco and how a single update brought the world to a standstill. From airports to GP surgeries, the cascading effects of this tech disaster have been felt globally.
Imagine if such an issue affected our cars - vehicles that are increasingly reliant on sophisticated, connected systems. Could we wake up one morning to find our cars bricked by an overnight update? How real is this threat, and what can we do to protect ourselves?
As we navigate the digital age, the safety and reliability of our vehicles are paramount. We’ll discuss the vulnerabilities of modern cars, the rising threat of cyber-attacks, and the importance of having options for less connected, more secure vehicles.
Are classic cars becoming the safer choice in a world where tech failures can lead to complete chaos? Share your thoughts and join the conversation on how we can safeguard our rides from future tech disasters.

Good evening Shahzad. This is the problem with the pursuit of wanting to do everything online/digitally. And I work in IT. I have a deep distrust of the over reliance on digital tech and services. Can't understand how the update was done without full and thorough testing. But things are often rushed through.

Exactly what i was thinking this morning about connected cars. I'll be sticking with my dumb 20 year old car thank you very much.

[@allyburg7145]

I’ve gone back to classic cars , got two , when my merc lease runs out next year it’s going back.

How come the sky has been blue today? No funny white line's?

[@BongbongA99]

Bring back simple points and distributors ....

[@thetruthwillwinoneday]

Yep, I don’t want to own a connected car! Imagine a world where a manufacturer can turn off car functions….oh

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

Not multiple operating systems, just windows. And not all windows systems, only those that were running Crowdstrike, as chosen by each company. Had nothing to do with Microsoft

If you have a car from Fisker Inc Automotive company has gone bust you get no support for your software so if goes wrong your stuffed and don't forget I believe tesla could disable/immobilize a car remotesly. I can turn it off remotely with my phone - and that means that the command goes over the cellular network to Tesla’s servers who verify validity - and sent that on to the car (also over cellular). So it’s technologically possible.

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

Well just disconnect the the CEL network antenna and you are back to a normal car.

There needs to be more balance between tech and human abilities, not just a tech, screen slavery type false balance which is easy prey for fraud and freedom. Money and identity needs to stay free of digitisation. #CashIsKing

I own a 1997 Toyota Hilux ute may l remind you it is unbreakable reliable and indestructible and when it comes to computers modules it doesn't have any nothing even has a carburator so as far as software updates no chance infact if l don't take my mobile phone there is zero chance of tracking me the perfect vehicle for the modern age there's no way Amy hacker could control my Hilux the question begs with all this tech and been able to control a car by hacking into its computers ect is this progress and l also live in Australia were there is no restrictions on me to drive my carburatored no cat converter ute any were in Australia it's just ridiculous as if things start going wrong with modern vehicles my Hilux will definitely go up in price it now worth aud $5000 and just say all computers went down in modern cars l could still drive any were are the future isn't looking good for newer cars but older low tech and no tech cars it looking good
