"University researchers have taken a close look at the computer systems used to run today's cars
and discovered new ways to hack into them, sometimes with frightening results."

However,

"He [Stefan Savage] and co-researcher Tadayoshi Kohno of the University of Washington, describe the real-world risk
of any of the attacks they've worked out as extremely low."

I was sure this will generate titles like Security researchers say they can take over a car, Hackers could attack your 
car, Modern cars vulnerable to malicious hacks etc.
