Everyone in the chain of command who committed this sabotage should go to prison.
the idiots who engineered the killswitch and didnt whistleblow should get some too
Yes, the people who committed sabotage should be arrested and forced to testify against their superiors who planned and ordered sabotage.
holy shit, they went full retard. logic locks to give bogus codes, insane warning messages that could be ignored. gsm fencing so the trains that went to third party repairs would auto throw a code...that's john deere/nestle levels of toxicity.
I wonder how prevalent this is in other industries. I would bet Tesla does similar things.
I do hope the company and people involved get what they deserve.
The McDonald's ice cream machines have a similar vibe, but that doesn't seem to be as smartly/evilly executed as these trains. Remote kill switches are insane.
Apple.
John Deere.
Tons of others I’m sure.
Incredible work guys! Sadly we need heroes like you.
