Fox News Warns Al-Qaeda Could 'Hack Your Car & Crash It'

Fox News on Tuesday advised viewers to revert to vehicles from the 1960s or even a "horse and buggy" because Al-Qaeda terrorists could take over the computer in their car and make it crash.

In a segment titled "Al Qaeda Behind the Wheel: How Terrorists Could Crash Your Car," cyberterrorism analyst Morgan Wright said that it was a "fact" that "you can take control of a car" through systems like General Motor's OnStar.

"My concern is when they not only just hack the car, they hack the systems that control these cars or have access to them," Wright noted. "A lot of people say that's farfetched, but one of my examples, you know, on Sept. 10th, 2001, we thought it was farfetched to fly four airplanes into a building, never thought it could happen. So, never say never."

Lee then wondered how concerned -- on a scale of one to ten -- should people be about terrorists hacking cars.

"Right now, I'd say on a scale of one to ten, it's a one and a half," Wright admitted. "There's only one car out there right now, the Infinity Q50 that has a true steering-by-wire system that you could actually -- if you could access to it -- could actually control the vehicle."
