Jim 2 Posted August 3, 2013 Quite plausible actually - if you can plug a device into the OBD port, and given that most cars these days have electric steering and drive by wire throttle.. I'd imagine that sort of system is quite easy to implement for someone who knows what they're doing. No chance of a similar sort of system working on our humble old Corrado's though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P3rks 11 Posted August 4, 2013 Forbes set up a demonstration. Obviously the hackers spent hours setting it up, but it shows its plausible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
