The term "Hacking" has been used to describe everything from modifying the backup-lights on your 78 Monza to remote-controlling someone else's Jeep whilst they drive it. I often get requests to "Hack" someone's car (mostly professionally speaking) which typically sparks a long conversation trying to determine what precisely their desire is. In light of research made public in 2015 and 2016, "car hacking" can evoke a certain sense of dread. However in an industry which is still in process of engaging appropriate security assessment practices and relationships, we need more than just dread. We need a common understanding. Join us as we discuss the various aspects of "Hacking" a car, what it means, and how to talk about it.
