An increasing number of cars are at risk from computer hackers
because of the advanced Internet enabled systems they offer – and the
problem could be potentially life-threatening. That’s the warning from
technology firm Harman at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Modern cars have a number of electronic control units (ECUs), which
not only control infotainment services, but also the operation of the
engine, transmission and safety features such as stability control and
anti-lock brakes.
If someone can hack into the connectivity system, they then have
access to all the car’s other ECUs because there is currently no
physical or electronic barrier between them.
