The FBI and the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have added their voices to growing concerns about the risk of cars being hacked.
In an advisory note it warns the public to be aware of "cybersecurity threats" related to connected vehicles.
Last year Fiat Chrysler recalled 1.4 million US vehicles after security researchers remotely controlled a Jeep.

Questions:
"There has not yet been a real-world example of such hacking." Judging from the article, do you think this will become a major issue? Why?
The FBI is taking this matter very seriuosly and has laid out the issues and dangers of car hacking. Do you think they are over-reacting? Take in account that there has been no cases of car hacking. Yet.
Hackers can take remote control of cars. Howerever this only applies to cars that have intelligent software and can connect to the internet. Does this mean that in the future the risk can get higher?
