Considering that cars are becoming more drive-by-wire, it's only a matter of time before a hacker will be able to actually steer a car or activate (or prevent activation of!) the brakes.
- userbinator 7y agoit's only a matter of time before a hacker will be able to actually steer a car or activate (or prevent activation of!) the brakes. A Tesla is the perfect example. The fact that it has self-driving---I mean, "assisted cruise control"---naturally means a computer can take over the controls entirely.
- blunte 7y agoI forget which car it was, but I watched a car review video recently where the presenter fussed about taking the (otherwise great) car to a track. Some of the assists couldn't be disabled, so going around the track he would occasionally have to fight the steering wheel when it would try to turn him a certain way to stay within a "lane".
