Did anyone bother to read the full article? If so, you would find out that it was a [somewhat] controlled experiment.

> To better simulate the experience of driving a vehicle while it’s being hijacked by an invisible, virtual force, Miller and Valasek refused to tell me ahead of time what kinds of attacks they planned to launch from Miller’s laptop in his house 10 miles west.

> Instead, they merely assured me that they wouldn’t do anything life-threatening.

> Then they told me to drive the Jeep onto the highway. “Remember, Andy,” Miller had said through my iPhone’s speaker just before I pulled onto the Interstate 64 on-ramp, “no matter what happens, don’t panic.”

How in the world is "don't panic on public roads when we attack you without warning" a controlled experiment, in any sense of the word? ;)

All right, I concede. I did not watch the video but only read the article - that was a bit insane of them.

When I read the article, in my mind, I pictured them driving the car on an empty-ish highway/road. That was clearly not the case.
