Here it is.  So you could start your car from your smart phone, etc.

Subject: Fiat Chrysler "connected car" bug lets hackers take over Jeep
remotely

http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/07/fiat-chrysler-connected-car-bug-
lets-hackers-take-over-jeep-remotely/

  Uconnect, a "connected car" system sold in a number of vehicles produced
  by Fiat Chrysler for the US market, uses the Sprint cellular network to
  connect to the Internet and allows owners to interact with their vehicle
  over their smartphone--performing tasks like remote engine start,
  obtaining the location of the vehicle via GPS, and activating anti-theft
  features. But vulnerabilities in Uconnect, which Fiat Chrysler has
  issued a patch for, made it possible for an attacker to scan Sprint's
  cellular network for Uconnect-equipped vehicles, obtaining their
  location and vehicle identification information.  Miller and Valasek
  demonstrated that they could then attack the systems within the car via
  the IP address of the vehicle, allowing them to turn the engine of the
  car off, turn the brakes on or off, remotely activate the windshield
  wipers, and take control of the vehicle's information display and
  entertainment system. Miller and Valasek also found that they could take
  remote control of the steering of their test vehicle, the aforementioned
  Jeep Cherokee--but only while it was in reverse.

Thinking about what hackers will do to *autonomous* vehicles.
