“If there was a war or escalation with a country with strong cyber-capability, I would be very afraid of hacking of vehicles,” Cappos says. But as Justin Cappos (the computer science researcher at New York University) told The Times, the potential threats are even worse than anything we’ve seen yet: These include carjackings, data breaches, and even taking control of moving vehicles. In 2019 alone, automotive-related cyber incidents doubled from the year prior (a 605% increase from 2016). And many auto manufacturers may not be adequately addressing the growing threat of automotive cyberattacks. But car hacking is not only possible today it has been since 2005, according to a computer science researcher from New York University. The thought of a hacker remotely seizing control of your vehicle sounds like something from a science fiction movie.
