It's an interesting problem. Software written by hoo-mans is suspect of course, but genetic algorithms can be applied to software bred for fitness for purpose. If you look at the Computerworld article, they discuss a 'hypervisor' to sanity-check the performance of the code in real time. Hackers rely on operating systems, and communication protocols. Embedded code running close to the metal has a minimal attack surface.

Did you see the story where someone demoed the pedestrian safety feature in the new Volvo?
Fail! Demo of Volvo pedestrian safety system goes terribly wrong | www.krmg.com
Motto: know what's under your hood. Meanwhile I have a mechanical fuel pump, cable-driven speedometer and electrical gas gauge and warning lights. The speedometer and gas gauge are both inaccurate.
