Hacking industrial vehicles from the internet
http://jcarlosnorte.com/security/2016/03/06/hacking-tachographs-from-the-internets.html
It is possible to monitor and control float trucks, public bus
or delivery vans from the internet, obtaining their speed,
position, and a lot other parameters. You can even control some
parameters of the vehicle or hack into the canbus of the vehicle
remotely. Those vehicles have a Telematics Gateway Unit (TGU)
device and a 3g/4g/gprs/lte/edge/HDSPA modem to connect to the
internet, with a public I.P. address. There are thousands of
TGU connected to the internet, with no authentication at all and
with administrative interfaces through a web panel or a telnet
session.

Imagine the fun hackers will have with self-driving vehicles.
