Your new car can be hacked.

These days, your car isn't a car - it's a rolling computer platform. You don't drive it as much as you give the computer commands and then let it carry them out. That's why the idea of hackers breaking into car computers is so terrifying. You have to see this video showing the scary reality of car hacking.

Dcat, where have you been? I always think about how much fun you and I had doing song threads. Glad to see you posting again.   

btw, I drive a almost 20 year old car. Hopefully I don't have to worry about this.

Your refrigerator can also be hacked. Rather disconcerting, isn't it?

Well good for you. I enjoyed the song threads too. I'll have to post a few more in the music thread. I'm still around P'cola. Just haven't been spending anytime on online forums. I've been happily married for the last year, and have a lovely new wife that keeps me active.
