If you went to our PTP Cyber Fest over the Infosec week you may have seen the PTP hack car being used as a games controller for the game SuperTuxKart (a free and open-source Mario Kart type game). You really could steer, accelerate and brake using the car, ‘driving’ the on screen kart!
  • Converted a real car into a game controller by intercepting CAN data
  • Tapped into the CAN bus using cheap wire splicers and a Kvaser USBCAN interface
  • Mapped steering, brake, and throttle signals to game controls using Python
  • A car is an impractical demo
