Hackers have managed to take control of a car and crash it into a ditch while sitting on their sofa 16 kilometres away.

In the first such breach of its kind security experts caused the engine to cut out and applied the brakes on a Jeep Cherokee, sending it into a spin.

The US hackers said they used just a laptop and mobile phone to access the Jeep's on-board systems via its wireless internet connection. They claim that more than 470,000 cars made by Fiat Chrysler could be at risk of similar breaches.

Don't be too hopeful. Tested to be working on a Jeep but no mention of Fiat.

This 4X4 SUV is driven by a Kamikaze

Not a easy job for the American Police constable, it's wrong to shoot or not to shoot

Perhaps they could have tried to shoot at the wheels or something... standing and watching their cop cars get wrecked seems silly. Hope they got his plates!
