In some cases, hackers can send a text message -- and disable a car's brakes, according to research presented by computer security experts on Monday.
It's a relatively simple hack. And while researchers only tested one type of device, it raises serious questions about how dangerous it is to use them at all.
Almost every car on the road right now has a computer port inside, usually underneath the steering wheel. It accesses the computer networks in your car, so mechanics can identify problems.

Yeah FLO, whats up wif dat?!!
One day probably within the next 10 years the government will decide that everyone must have these devices for the safety of the people. They have already proven they can make you buy any kind of insurance for any reason and they have already proven they can require just about anything on a car in the name of safety. They have proven they can spy on you in the name of security. I don't know how many younger people(those between 15 & 40) read this blog but in less than 20 years the days of big brother will be here and you won't even know how it happened. Me I don't worry about it anymore because I either will be dead or senile by then. It is so sad what has become of this country that as it stands right now our choice for the next president would be rump or cliton (pun intended). You get what you pay for and for 16 years now we have been paying with confederate money and I ain't just whistling dixie.
514, Good idea bringing back Confederate money. Our dollar and the world market is near collapse. I'd like to see this!
Hey, I've got another idea! Let's base the value on gold or silver, or both!
My company will produce car computers that will enhance mileage and power and drivability, and not be online at any cost. I will make tons of money.
