That’s what people said about Dropbox too. I can set this up in 5 mins with rsync blah blah. There is value and effort involved in making it production ready, seamless, general population ready etc.

This wasn't done. Well, it wasn't done by these researchers, but it has been done countless times before by other people. This research is a joke.

Edit: I've realized the dropbox comment reference is an appropriate reference, but in the exact opposite way you're suggesting. All the ignition interlock switches already on the market are dropbox. This researcher is the one saying "look what I can do with rsync."
