    Scaremongering headline, but the reality is a bit more reasonable:

    Miller and Valasek clarified that they had not actually hacked into the vehicles themselves, but instead assessed broad criteria for vulnerabilities to help establish a generalized, objective set of measures by which consumers could compare the exploitability of one vehicle over another, Reuters reported. The researchers said the vehicles themselves may be quite secure in practice, despite their high "hackability" rating.​
