Researchers at U of C and U of Washington have been testing how 
secure car computers are from hacking.

The result is that many vehicles have little immunity at all to being 
remotely controlled, with a remote user able to make the car break, 
switch the engine off and lock all the doors. All this via the OBD 
port. However as they point out, as yet, this is not too easy to 
accomplish.
