Warning after security experts hack Tesla car
Found on BBC News on Thursday, 06 August 2015
It is the second time in a month that a car maker has had to act to solve security problems with its vehicles uncovered by hackers.
In late July, Fiat Chrysler issued a recall for more than 1.4 million vehicles after hackers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek showed how to use bugs in the onboard software of the Jeep Cherokee to shut it down remotely.
Considering that electronics are getting not only more important, but also turn cars into computers, hacks will become more common. While you might not like it if your PC at home annoys you with adware or sends out spam, your exploited car will be way more dangerous; to you and everybody else in your way.
