This post is full of very relevant and useful links. Building on what is in this piece, I suggest the following to get a feel for the evil side of these hacks.
Listen to the 60 minutes report on the stuxnet and the flame viruses, which were recently used to attack nuclear facilities in Iran. Also read an interesting report during a recent security conference of simulated attacks on an oil rig or another post on potential security concerns with airplanes.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Digital transformations ultimately will mean everything will be digital - corporations, things, and most of what people see and do. And when you get to 100% digital and 100% connected, some of what Alistair is describing will become common place.

Fatal car crash of a Tesla on highway using automated driving mode. The post provides some information about the crash, which appears to be due to a condition that was never programmed into the system (side hit).
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
Autonomous vehicles will become more and more popular in the future and this event reminds us of the complexities involved. We are very early in this field and much like aviation there should be formal investigations and corrective actions taken when such crash occur so that all manufacturers can learn from crashes. This calls for an international database of car crashes and there should be mandatory requirements for new self-driving systems to "pass" the exam ie. to ensure they all react correctly to previously seen car crashes and other incidents.
This thus becomes an opportunity to learn from the global past experience of millions of drivers and billions of kilometers driven in all conditions, across all countries. I am not aware of such a central database but would expect it to become a reality if we want autonomous driving to be a transformation beyond what we have today: each driver learning for themselve.
