A terrifying reason to not buy a newer car....

Two hackers have developed a tool that can hijack a Jeep over the internet. WIRED senior writer Andy Greenberg takes the SUV for a spin on the highway while the hackers attack it from miles away.

At least it's Chrysler, so it won't affect more than a dozen people, tops.

Mopar = no car

In the associated article, they mention plenty of vehicles are vunerable, including Cadillac and Infiniti. Though they do focus on Chrysler's Uconnect.

Detroit is SO FAR BEHIND Silicon Valley. They don't (they can't) hire the best engineers and they can't imagine hacking culture.
So sad.

Scary.

What I don't understand is why are they (the car manufacturers and designers) exposing vehicle controls to the head display? There are certain things that should not cross over. It baffles me that they could design a connected vehicle that exposes so much of the controls to the outside world. If these car designers and manufacturers keep going with these stupid ideas, it won't be long people will end up being Facebook-shamed for their driving abilities.
