In the near future, you may be more worried about a hacker attack on your car than on your PC!! Over a range of experiments, both in the lab and in road tests researchers demonstrated the ability to adversarially control a wide range of automotive functions and completely ignore driver input. They could remotely lock the brakes, the engine, and windows on a car; turn on the radio, heat, and windshield wipers, honk the horn and change the speedometer display. They were able to do all of that in tests on two cars of unnamed make and model by connecting a laptop to the electronic control system and controlling that computer wirelessly using a second laptop in a separate car. |
