A car without the electronics, it is hard to imagine now. But who’s to electronics, says, thinks, will automatically be added to the hackers. Together with five other European colleagues sent out a Test Purchase of seven hackers from a British security company, off on the mobile app, a Volkswagen Polo and a Ford Focus. Also, the cars have been put to the test: for example, we were looking for weak spots in the infotainment systems, with radio, gps, telefoonconnecties, etc.), lock and others.
