It's been possible for a few years now, a couple of papers may be of
interest here;

http://feihu.eng.ua.edu/NSF_CPS/year1/w9_1.pdf

I did some work with Ross Anderson a few years back for a Tier 1, one of the
outputs was an ESCAR paper which I archived at,

http://www.skicambridge.com/papers/security_and_safety.pdf

The issue has also been discussed extensively in the IEEE Software and some
ACM publications.

The SAE has a new J standard coming out on vehicle security and I believe
the IET is looking at the issue as well.

.... and drive it into a ditch. Done during a demo, performed the day after
the fix was available from Fiat Chrysler. But it's real. As in, really real.
Thank heavens the good guys found it first.

I must admit I thought such an act was still a couple years in the future.
