The automakers don’t seem to have a clue about computer security.

The only thing that can shut down my Mercury Marquis is a Air to Surface Missile.

Just imagine what the antivirus / anti-malware software subscription is going to cost...

They were unable to hack the Model S over the air.

They had to get physical access to the car and hack through an ethernet cable.

And they could control the motor and reduction gear only at 5 mph and lower.

A patch has already been issued and downloaded by many/most Model S owners.

No need to visit the dealership to have software downloaded like Fiat Chrysler.
