now find something that stops it from reading Bluetooth and other RF signals. I wonder if anyone has acquired one for security research
It would be simpler to just overlay Bluetooth or RF signals it can read with signals so numerous and strong that it is overwhelmed. The main problem with that is the size of the hardware you'd need.
You could pull the 20 phones in a trench coat thing that one guy did to create "traffic jams" where there were no cars.
RF shields already exist, so you could in theory cover the car with it, it could be a problem tho since you can't really do calls and listen to the radio anymore but i guess you can just put an antenna
Just put the phone in a Faraday cage and turn off the bluetooth devices. You will need an older car without bluetooth and telemetry built in though.
That and for it to actually work you'd have to cover your windshield and other windows.
I meann, is it necessary? Bluethoot is already weak, i feel like that without covering windshield and windows it wouldn't be strong enough to be detected outside
