    From what I’ve been reading, not only is this the least of what hackers can do, but it’s with any new vehicles. The CIA developed all sorts of hacking tools for cars I hear tell, that were revealed in the snowden leaks, and that was 15 years ago, that they can take control of the gas, brakes, and steering regardless of your controlls in the vehicle.

    It’s not just academic either, 60 minutes a few years ago got a new vehicle in a parking lot and paid a hacker to take control in a parking lot and he got it to disregard their steering and braking and gas pedal.

    There are a couple of suspicious deaths people think are from hacked vehicles causing accidents, Guiffre in Australia is one.
