Since last year, there has been no doubt about the possibility\u00a0of taking control over a connected car remotely<\/a>. So, isn\u2019t it a little odd that we\u2019ve yet to see any hacked cars, racing around the streets? \u00a0Is it just a real threat or just a hypothetical possibility?<\/p>\n

Judging by the discussions going on at RSA 2016, the answer is complex. Right now the real threat is minimum however this will only increase over time. In several years, the situation will be far more complicated and dangerous than we currently see. What\u2019s worse, the car industry is organised in such a way that manufacturers would probably be solving these fundamental problems for decades. So if we don\u2019t want to lose the rush completely, it\u2019s high time to act. \u00a0Fortunately, many manufacturers are beginning to understand this as well.<\/p>\n

No need for panic\u2026<\/h3>\n

\u2026But if you want to lift your adrenalin, watch the video taken by the Wired team and the duo of most famous automobile hackers, Charlie Miller<\/a> and Chris Valasek<\/a>.<\/p>\n
