There has been recent press/hype about hack-ability of new cars that use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Media beat-up, panic or some merit? (http://au.pcmag.com/opinion/23312/security-experts-identify-20-most-hackable-cars)
Would a pilotless aircraft be any less susceptible to been hacked? On the flip side, there are very many UAVs flying around as we speak. But how real is the threat of hacking to them? (http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140206-can-drones-be-hacked) At the end of the day it comes done to risk assessment, no system is perfect. I don't think gliding on planet Earth will be pilotless quite yet, but aren't they working on a Martian solution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Scout_Program)?
