Not news, it has been sporadically tested in LA county for perhaps the last 5 years. Kills Onstar equipped vehicles and maybe anything with a factory OTA capability or navigation. Kind of a design feature of the CAN bus system now used in cars to remote start and turn on the AC.

Recall the remote hijack of someone's wrangler? They stopped that access but didn't fix the hardware cause. How about the remote unlocking of VW's not using the key fob codes.
