Tesla Model S hacked in security contest

The Tesla Model S is essentially a computer on wheels, and as such, it has become the target of a hacking contest at the SyScan 360 security conference in Beijing. One of the contestants, Qihoo 360 Technology Co. apparently succeeded and were able to take over several of the car’s systems. While the car was in motion, the car’s locks, horn, headlights and skylight were all remotely operated by the contestants.
