i don't know anything about how cars work but the article says "At the moment, impacted vehicles are generally wide open to these sorts of attacks. The only proper fix would be to introduce cryptographic protections to CAN messages, Tindell told Motherboard in an email. This could be done via a software update, he added"

and i'm kinda expecting software first companies to already have this stuff in place? also stolen car media seems to focus on legacy autos being stolen not so much the newer ones, hence the question but maybe the theives target better build quality, who knows.
