Hacker, you can drive my car

Two security researchers have shown that hackers can take control over a Jeep's wipers, radio, transmission, brakes and steering.

Last year, I wrote about Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, two security researchers intent on showing that while modern cars have all sorts of crash safety features, a driven person can get into their networks - and potentially wreak havoc.

That was in August, and almost year later, Miller and Valasek teamed up with Wired's Andy Greenberg for a practical experiment that showed hackers can indeed take control over a Jeep's wipers, radio, transmission, brakes and steering.
Miller and Valasek forced Greenberg's Jeep into a ditch which frankly sounds like a nightmare that shouldn't ever be possible.
