I can’t watch the youtube video at the moment, but all previous reports like this required the vehicle to be compromised already before someone could take over remotely. Meaning that, the hackers actually gained physical access to the vehicle through some means that allowed them to open up a route to taking remote control. Without that access and preparation, they couldn’t pull it off.

Is that the same with this scenario or did they actually compromise the vehicle entirely remotely?

The two hackers say it was done entirely wirelessly through the car’s built in cellular connection, requiring only knowledge of the car’s IP address. They say that they will reveal how they did it next month at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas.
