this week we talked about hard drives and analog to digital conversion. Since car theft is something everyone has to worry about, these in car computers need a way that their hard drives can be wiped in case the car is stolen. One would hope that no one would keep really important stuff on a car computer but we know people will so there should be a measure in place that if they car is not started using a special key the hard drive will wipe itself. Or it could be something less destructive, such as a password controlled entry. Upon starting the car, the driver needs to enter a password and username to be able to access the computer and its contents.
