I’ve worked in Dubai and had the opportunity to drive with a local to Muscat. It was interesting, but . . . only because he was local and knew a few cool beaches and inlets to stop into on the drive. If I had been doing that drive alone . . well, you nailed it in your OP. Oman is rather . . sparse. And as for Muscat itself . . well, in a region with Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha & Bahrain . . . its hard to justify as a top 10 tourist destination.

tl;dr: Glad a saw it . . I won’t go out of my way to see it again.

Didn’t you notice the April 1 release day???

So after receiving a flood of replies saying the same thing . . . this could happen to all modern cars . . you go back and edit the OP to double-down on the EV question?

Are you a shill for big oil???

I am employed by a major Tier 1 electronics supplier to multiple car manufactures. Your question has NOTHING to do with EV’s - we sell the exact same ADAS components for use in EV’s, ICE, and hybrid cars & trucks.

But to answer your question . . . nothing is 100% hacker proof. All modern cars (ICE, EV’s, hybrid) cars could be hacked . . and any of them with an advanced ADAS system could be modified as you describe to “frame the driver”.

Thank you for the very helpful suggestion.
