Isn't that what the hacked car already doing? I don't know about Jeep specifically, but most cars have several CAN busses and some micro-controller passing messages from high-speed control network to low-speed infotainment network.

Problem is, most automotive engineers are clueless about security and most "hackers" are clueless about automotive hardware, software and protocols. There is no dialog.

I wish articles like these posted at least some specifics. A lot of these hacks in the past were completely impractical. Yes, yes, they had shown some interesting possibilities, but it was disingenuous to present them as real-life attacks (which many media outlets did).
