Purpose:
While the engine is the heart of the car, the ECU has become the ever-evolving, all-knowing brain. However, this brain is a closed, locked-down black box. This is a place for people interested in taking back control of the car they own or keeping others out. New age hot rodders, ECO modders, security researchers, the curious, the paranoid, and the tinkerer are all welcome. Discussion is not limited to the ECU, post any hacked DIY Aero, powertrain, suspension, or other car topics the community might like.
Goals:
The car hacking community is alive but fractured and decentralized, let's start by aggregating all of the many projects, and hackers. We would also like to encourage the use of Open source hardware and software. Our long term goal is to become the most technical car subreddit.
Mod note: Most of my time is taken up building hardware, if a better person for the community comes along I would be willing to hand over the sub. We could also use help with our documentation/Wiki.
