Hackers Control Vehicle on Highway Remotely

An incredible eye-opening video was released by WIRED that showcases just how insecure new vehicles connected to the internet are. Two hackers were able to successfully hack into a Jeep and while the test driver was taking a spin on the highway. The results were very alarming.

At first, the hackers tweaked a few standard options, such as turning on the fan inside the car and messing with the radio. Then, they took more control of the vehicle by turning on the windshield wipers and actually killing the Jeep’s engine. If that wasn’t dangerous enough, more tests showed them controlling things that would make it unable to control on the road. This is something that anybody interested in purchasing a new vehicle should take a look at.
