GM has been making hackable cars since 1996

I always wanted to make a spoof of the GM ads that promoted OnStar for "safety". That is, a white collar criminal is heading for the hydrofoil with suitcases crammed with cash and the FBI calls up OnStar to track the vehicle and turn off the ignition.

A more likely scenario: you’re heading out to attend a million man protest. The government disagrees and disables your car.
