    Scary. On the other hand, I wonder if we could use this as an excuse when caught driving a bit too aggressively (hackers did it!)?

    Apparently GM cars have been hacked through the "on star" system, as well as Mercedes. Best defense is to,keep the car off line. Don't have the subscription to the service at all. Cell phone is still the best to call a tow truck. And don't EVER installed one of those insurance companies devices..ever. Regardless of what they tell you. Lower insurance rates be damnd.
