Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek released their homegrown tools for hacking computerized features in popular automobile models. They demonstrated how they were able to take control of the electronic smart steering, braking, acceleration, engine, and other features of the 2010 Toyota Prius and the 2010 Ford Escape. The pair, known for their software-hacking, spent about 10 months working on the hacks. Miller says they hope the tools will help other researchers find other weaknesses in vehicles that should be addressed. Ford and Toyota have publicly played down the research, but neither has promised any fixes.”]
