DARPA: Hacking Into Cars
Here is a link with a DARPA presentation detailing how easy it would be to remotely control a vehicle and cause a high speed crash.

» DARPA Computer Geek Talks About Hacking Cars Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
The peculiar circumstances of journalist Michael Hastings' death in Los Angeles last week have unleashed a wave of conspiracy theories.
Now there's another theory to contribute to the paranoia: According to a prominent security analyst, technology exists that could've allowed someone to hack his car. Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke told The Huffington Post that what is known about the single-vehicle crash is "consistent with a car cyber attack."
Clarke said, "There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers" -- including the United States -- know how to remotely seize control of a car.
"What has been revealed as a result of some research at universities is that it's relatively easy to hack your way into the control system of a car, and to do such things as cause acceleration when the driver doesn't want acceleration, to throw on the brakes when the driver doesn't want the brakes on, to launch an air bag," Clarke told The Huffington Post. "You can do some really highly destructive things now, through hacking a car, and it's not that hard."
Clarke worked for the State Department under President Ronald Reagan and headed up counterterrorism efforts under Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He also served as a special adviser on cyberterrorism to the younger Bush and published a book on the topic, Cyber War, in 2010.
"I'm not a conspiracy guy. In fact, I've spent most of my life knocking down conspiracy theories," said Clarke, who ran afoul of the second Bush administration when he criticized the decision to invade Iraq after 9/11. "But my rule has always been you don't knock down a conspiracy theory until you can prove it [wrong]. And in the case of Michael Hastings, what evidence is available publicly is consistent with a car cyber attack. And the problem with that is you can't prove it."

Well if he was intent on committing suicide I have a hard time reconciling why he drove as far as he did as fast as he did. Wouldn't he simply have rammed into something much earlier rather than racing down the road for a long distance?
And the bursting into flames thing is odd as well. Cars don't normally do that, especially a new Benz that have built in safeguards against precisely that sort of thing happening.

I'll keep my Jeep with a throttle cable, non-abs brakes and simple hydraulic steering thank you.
Lol "hacking" a car is just simply hilarious and outlandish. Maybe on an absolutely new car which has drive by wire for steering, gas pedal and brakes but I don't know of any vehicles who have all three. Even 2013 models your brake is still mechanically attached to a hydraulic system... and your steering as well is mechanically attached to a steering box.

You are aware that nearly all hybrid cars use drive by wire technology for the accelerator,braking systems,and in the case of Mercedes even the steering mostly electronic.True is does have a mechanical link in the steering,but a gear box controlled electronically adjusts the rate of turn(driver input) via a computer.The steering design is to prevent over correcting at speed,but could also function if hacked in the opposite manner causing very small inputs to cause large movements.
It is not tin foil.ABC News did a story on this as well.This is a very real possibility.
They even hacked a car driving at 60 mph,and could have deflated or over inflated any of the tires."For example, scientists hacked into a car's computer system by commandeering the wireless tire-pressure monitoring signal of a target vehicle – all while driving at more than 60 miles per hour, according to a joint study released Thursday by Rutgers University and the University of South Carolina."
Using homemade hacking software they dubbed "CarShark," the Washington-San Diego researchers in lab and road tests "demonstrate the ability to adversarially control a wide range of automotive functions and completely ignore driver input – including disabling the brakes, selectively braking individual wheels on demand, stopping the engine, and so on," the researchers wrote.
