Cars hacked through wireless tire sensors

Rutgers University has proved that the wireless sensors in your car tires, compulsory in the US since 2008, can be hacked. You can track the vehicle or poison the ECU to blow your horn, start your wipers etc. Other sensors can also be hacked, but being wireless makes tires that extra bit special. LINK.
