CNNMoney recently reported on the disturbing news that hackers could slam on your car’s brakes, while you’re driving! In their investigation, CNNMoney found that certain cars are more “hackable” than others.

Remotely hacking cars isn’t out of the realm of possibility though, and they give plenty of reasons why.

These applications are responsible with connecting the automobiles to networks [...]
