While the mid-engine C8 Corvette will have an extremely intricate engine computer encryption system, GM’s intent isn’t to prevent extra power, reports Patrick Rall from Torque News.
While speaking with Muscle Cars and Trucks at the debut of the Cadillac CT4 and CT5, Reuss explained that the encryption system and supporting security measures of the C8 Corvette aren’t intended to prevent performance upgrades so much as they are to prevent hackers from gaining access to the vehicle.
The C8 Corvette will use the same “Global B” electrical architecture as many other GM vehicles, including some vehicles that will have the Super Cruise autonomous driving system. While the Corvette won’t be autonomous, GM wants to make sure that this electrical system is as safe and secure as possible, as there could be horrific results should hackers get ahold of the car while in motion.
