Oh no, cars at serious risk from IT-hackers

Modern cars have a number of electronic control units (ECUs), which not only control infotainment services, but also the operation of the engine, transmission and safety features such as stability control and anti-lock brakes. Internet-enabled systems also in modern cars are too vulnerable to hackers.
For example  one car BMW 3 Series, this model has around 35 ECUs, according to Harman, the company, which develops connectivity services for many manufacturers. With a high-end model like the 7 Series, the number of ECUs can be as high as 140.

Sure, an increasing number of cars are at risk from computer hackers because of the advanced Internet enabled systems they offer – and the problem could be potentially life-threatening.
the warning comes now from technology firm Harman at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, but it's not suprise. Read more from Autoexpress.
This is all risks formation was known by experience, and the whole problem is intentionally inflicted on itself .
