Stranded in hostile environment (middle of nowhere in the arctic or a desert) could be a death sentence.


Who is going to DoS your car in the middle of the arctic or a desert?


Eh, I dunno, I guess a very not-nice person could attach the device to your car and activate it remotely/later.

I think a more realistic exploit would be a corrupt tow-truck driver / mechanic targeting an area where tourists stop.
