"NCC's work - which has been restricted to its labs..."
"Mr Davis said he had simulated his DAB-based attack only on equipment in his company's buildings..."
"But he added that he had previously compromised a real vehicle's automatic-braking system ... by modifying an infotainment system, and he believed this could be replicated via a DAB broadcast."
So basically this is one of those non-stories where a researcher looking for some press coverage broadcasts a custom radio station with a name like 'LOL I HAKD UR CAR', then shows it - in an office - to a zero-knowledge reporter who is immediately impressed as if it was a demonstration of anything at all. Whereas actually it's just some bloke in an office saying "well I'm sure this is possible, I've never done it, obviously."
I'm reminded of the words of Travis Goodspeed... Proof Of Concept or GTFO.
