From what I've read the hacker can gain access to almost all vehicle systems. These vehicles have optional self parking for both parallel and back in. This means the computer has access to steering, brakes and gas. These vehicles also had optional adaptive cruise control. This means sensors in every direction. The hacker could fool the adaptive cruise control sensors and allow the driver to get into an accident.
What about using the Chrysler product to hit another target? These are all Sprint IP addresses. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out. These could be malicious or just for fun hacks in the future.
