    What the F***!!! I am not surprised they have been doing similar in movies for decades. As soon as they had a car with mobile hot spots or cellular services the hacking community started trying to get in.

    Doesn't surprise me though. Drive by wire, everything run by computers. Soon enough, Skynet.

    Instant defence for anyone charged with a driving offence in one of these heeps. Wonder when that will happen.

    Wonder if this is a big enough liability that car makers will stop installing these systems. Some anonymous asshole hacks a car, part of a family dies, sues Jeep. Maybe not worth it having internet traffic updates.
