Default Cars getting hacked remotely...

This isn't specific to Lexus, but here's a case of a disgruntled ex-employee using a system similar in capability to Lexus' telematics to hack into car computers and disable them. I wonder what the chances are of some call agent on Lexus' SOS system doing a copy-cat...

Oh boy. More bored people. LOL. Someone out there is always going to figure how to crack a code or reverse engineer something.

I think Toyota employs the smartest and most talented engineers out there. R&D is huge, and I don't think they would create anything that would be easy for any kind of hacker to figure out. But you just never know nowadays.

Replace "Toyota" with "Microsoft" in your statement, and see what it sounds like
