The answer, according to an article at the Daily Breeze, is: they already can. That’s right, hackers were able to hack into the computer systems of current cars and take control of it. The article cites one method where the hackers plugged into a car through its port under the dashboard, but the more nefarious incident involved gaining access through the car’s bluetooth and cell phone capability. I should point out that these hackers were “good guys” looking for security holes that people with more sinister intentions could exploit.
