The research is still in its infancy, but its implications are unsettling. Trick a driver into loading the wrong CD or connecting the Bluetooth to the wrong handset, and it's theoretically possible to install malicious code on one of the ECUs. Since the ECUs communicate with one another using little or no authentication, there's no telling how far the hack could extend.

Re: Cool and very scary.
Fair call I spose, electronic throttle and ESC (which applies brakes) in my car which means if somehow you gained control of them you could cause some damage. Too much effort to hack and then remotely control them though I reckon. Be good for making a death seem like an accident however.
