If you drive a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a 2014 Infiniti Q50, or a 2015 Escalade, your car not only has state-of-the-art network-connected functions and automated features, but it's also the most likely to get hacked.

When most people hear their car has an IP address or is accessible via bluetooth or some other sort of network protocol, they get excited about all the neat features that come with it.
I wonder how long before they are comprised.

It is exciting that cars have all this technology and so many features.
It's unfortunate that automakers are naïve enough to put these features on the same network as the car's functional systems, without hard physical separation between them. Someone will eventually get hurt. Hopefully it doesn't take a massive, indiscriminate attack on the public to change the way manufacturers, and the public, think about these risks.

Yeah. Vital machine operation (and non vital, like HVAC, windows, trunk release, etc...) should be read only, and be able to function without the fancypants networked shit.
What happens when the fancypants stuff crashes, fails, is compromised, needs a reboot, etc?
