This is about the Internet of Things isn't it? One more step towards the judgement day predicted by the Terminator movies. Just start thinking it, and it will be so....

Considering how electronics in cars have developed in the last 4 years since the article there are big chances that not only Jeep and Fiat can be affected by this.

So car jackers will become car hackers? Something to look forward to....having your car pinched from your driveway by a fat pimply geek sitting in his bedroom in the Czech Republic. If the car starts coughing and spluttering, does that mean it has a virus?
