But that is not the only access to the computer. Others have already mentioned OnStar. There are also cars with blue tooth and I think, one of the points made was concerning the future as cars get more wireless/bluetooth capability.
Also, if you ever allow anyone else to drive your car (mechanic, valet, or even a 'friend'), you have just allowed someone to connect to your cars computer...but you didn't know it, so does that also make you a dumbass?
Come on, be nice. If the car makers do not take steps to protect consumers NOW, as the software develops the protection will be more difficult to program in later and that is the point I took from the article.
