A few weeks ago, WIRED’s Andy Greenberg published a story that made our collective hearts skip a beat: “Hackers remotely kill a jeep on the highway — with me in it.” In his story, Greenberg detailed how terrifying it was to lose control of his car to two hackers—even though he had invited them to hack the jeep in the first place.
