    The IoT rave is among us and your daily ride is no exception. Another example why we don't need to connect every single damn thing to the internet!

    Reminds me of James Bond RC his custom-built super cars.

    How would you react if you're the one being tamper with while driving? Would you consider jumping? Wait and see and perhaps get into an crash and let the airbag deploy? Voice your opinion here.

    Definitely do not want to see the world with autonomous cars... Seems pretty hackable, at least for now... But seems like more and more cars are connected to the Internet, making it more easier to hack...

    It's always after the stuff that happens, then the companies will recall.

    Chrysler (FCA): "No defect has been found." :lolwut:
