Science Daily reports on a NYU Tandon School of Engineering student who was able to bypass the "security" on car computers by connecting a smart phone, and using software that wasn't enabled by default, but present in the system.
Car manufacturer fail. One of the biggest precepts in securing electronics is if you're not using a service/software, don't have it available on the system!

So New South Wales bases their laws on the tools under the hood, not on the results? Sounds like a government confusing their goals.

So naturally aspirated Ferrari or an electric Tesla that will distort your eyeballs are okay, but highly fuel efficient cars are outlawed.
I think I know who paid for that law.
