Well, some time ago there was a post of a new rangie with the ability to control it with a mob phone. I was seriously concerned about the safety factor, and not surprised here is an example of what can happen.
Wired shows how hackers control a Jeep
I think I will just stick to my good old Disco 300tdi!

Well not me but cyber security hackers did.
Cybersecurity researchers use the internet to hack into car, turn off engine as it drives - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
Very Very Lucky!

SubscriberJust wait for C-ITS. Basically it is a network where all cars talk to each other.... So much to go wrong I can't even start to imagine....
Hercules: 1986 110 Isuzu 3.9 (4BD1-T)
Brutus: 1969 109 ExMil 2a FFT (loved and lost)
Probably not much worse than the current interaction of random nodes (people)...Originally Posted by flagg
Even if the system crashed a few a day, would likely still be far less than the current crashes per day..

SupporterWhy on earth does any car need to be connected to the internet?
NB. This is not the same as asking why do some people want their car to be connected to the internet?

Subscriberinteresting story.
pretty hard hack imho.
and the fix is pretty easy, keep the two systems (internet & engine/body/trans) seperate.
for those wanting to know why they have internet:
Chrysler Uconnect Web is a system that can provide wireless Internet connectivity in any Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep vehicle, via a wi-fi "hot-spot". The wifi hotspot range is approximately 150 feet from the vehicle in all directions. A 3G EV-DO cellular network from Autonet Mobile provides the Internet service, and the in-vehicle device provides an ordinary wifi network with Internet connectivity.
Uconnect also includes a Bluetooth network allowing voice activated calling on cell phones, a hard drive for media storage, a Sirius TV and satellite radio system, and a GPS system.
UConnect Access and UConnect Pages are both new services offered as of 2013 that include an in-car 3G cellular connection, with access to in-car apps, emergency assistance, and roadside assistance. The system is a fee-based service that includes a free trial with a newly purchased vehicle.
