BMW Fixes Security Flaw

I like the last paragraph:
"BMW said it was able to update its ConnectedDrive software automatically, when the vehicle connects up to the BMW Group server or the driver calls up the service configuration manually.
'The online capability of BMW Group ConnectedDrive allowed the gap to be closed quickly and safely in all vehicles," BMW said. 'There was no need for vehicles to go to the workshop.'"

npcars, maybe this is why your CA is acting all wonky?

When picking up my X5, the CA made sure my software is updated... all this high tech car has the similar vulnerability problems... even Tesla has issues too.
