The original "Jeep Hack"

This is, perhaps, the most pivotal of all car-hacking stories.  Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller put journalist Andy Greenberg in the driver's seat of a Jeep Cherokee.  They told him to keep driving, no matter what happened, and they promised not to put his life in danger.  From miles away, they proceeded to hack into Andy's car, putting his life in danger.  Includes the video of Andy behind the wheel as the hack unfolds.

This is the story that made Chris and Charlie household names in the world of car hacking, and really demonstrated to the world that hacking a car remotely was a real possibility.
