QOTD: Will the Car Hacking Ever Stop?
It feels like we've covered car hacking a lot over the past few years.
We had another one today.
This one was done by researchers, not criminals, and hopefully it will teach automakers how to prevent these issues in the future.
But I have to ask -- with cars being so connected these days, how can automakers stop these hacks. Can they?
It's a simple one today. You know what to do.
Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
