> The UK's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has responded by saying that car companies "invest billions of pounds to keep vehicles secure as possible".

Well they haven't done a particularly good job.

Anyone else spooked that this has come out of a security company based in Cheltenham (where GCHQ is...)?



>invest billions of pounds to keep vehicles secure as possible

ORLY? Can I ask them to point me to billions of expenditures done to ensure security that had no other purpose. Unless they are talking physical security like crash safety, I don't think they have spent billions they would've otherwise saved by not developing secure systems in the cars.
