In last couple of years hacking car used to take place with wires that are connected with vehicle‘s diagnostic port that provide a direct access to car’s system but this is new. Wireless hacking of cars will be discussed in forthcoming Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas next month by famous Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek.

The tools which are used to hack vehicles wirelessly is a feature called U connect that converts a car into a smart phone that makes many known cars like Fiat Chrysler cars, SUVs, and trucks, controls the vehicle’s entertainment and navigation accessible by hackers with a Wi-Fi spot.

The hacking activity is beyond just transmission and dashboard tricks, it can also be used for surveillance as it can provide a GPS coordinates, measures its speed and mapped its route.
