The full story
Car YouTuber Iamcarhacker shows how they replaced a dedicated OBD2 scan tool with Claude: they capture the car's diagnostic data and have Claude read and interpret it. A Hacker News commenter felt it was oversold, pointing out that the hardest part, setting up the CAN cables and Wireshark, isn't new.
