The Safety Issues of Computerized Car Control

Here are a couple of fascinating articles brought to our attention by Mark Edmund, a SKIDCAR driving instructor at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy. Though not training based, they center on vehicle control by focusing on the idea that the computerized nature of vehicles today could potentially leave them vulnerable to attack from outside sources. This is an interesting safety concept, to say the least.

If you have articles or comments to share, please let us know. We would love to hear from you!
