I had no idea they could even do something like this remotely.
What else can they do? Shut the engine off? Lock the steering? What intelligence agencies have access? What if a side-channel can be created and (other) malicious actors obtain access?
This kind of remote access to a car is genuinely terrifying.

A pox on all their houses; if I never buy another new car I'll be more than happy.
