Uconnect, the Internet-connected software installed in newer Fiat Chrysler models, can be hacked remotely due to a vulnerability in its cellular capabilities.

"From 10 miles away, Miller and Valasek proceeded to hack into his car's software, toggling the windshield wipers, blasting the radio, and, eventually, cutting the transmission. Later, the hackers also managed to take over the brakes and sent the Jeep into a ditch."

Yet another reason to keep a GMC around.
