We're living in a brand new world now with the up to 100 microcomputers that function within your modern vehicle. If you have a car, truck, or SUV that was manufactured in the last 10 years, chances are you're operating not just a physical piece of machinery but one that is highly advanced and "smart" as well. And hackers can be some of the smartest people in the world. After all, it's their pleasure and sometimes their business to take over the complex microcomputers and connectivity devices within your vehicle. Not only do things like adaptive cruise control, traction, and braking often working based on microcomputers, but your connectivity devices leave you open to attacks as well. For today's information, though, we're talking about hackers who physically take control of your car's functions through the use of its computers.
