Hacker vs. Auto Industry: The autonomous car industry on tackling security issues
In 2014, two American hackers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, made this happen. They hijacked several cars, taking control of hardware and software. Their weapon: a laptop. The good thing: Miller and Valasek had just tested the vulnerabilities of modern cars. The bad thing: Their test was really successful. What Miller and Valasek made clear with their experiment was that cars might not be a safe haven for their drivers.
