Can your car be hacked?

Your car at risk from hackers

As cars become more like PCs on wheels, what’s to stop a hacker from taking over yours?

Nah my car definitely can't be hacked. Unless someone manages to hack it using a URL address...

Mmh! I was wondering about something similar the other day, that little Tv that comes on when you reverse the car these days, the one with the touchscreen that links to your mobile device to play music and stream your cellphone through it..... Welll can one tinker with whatever system it runs on and say for example let younplay movies on it when you are oing forward?

It's been done already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN0C0HYwja0. Michael Hastings was probably killed by hacking his Mercedes Coupé.

Watch out CoJ, all your cars are belonging to malicious url hackers that will change the destination on your car's built-in GPS to give you directions to hell instead of home.
