Would not be at all surprised if car hacking was used in the Hasting "accident".
This guy did a story that took down US Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
He was working an NSA/CIA story that was going to out several high level officials, his family/friends were being questioned/abducted/harassed by NSA/CIA agents (after Hastings death, the NSA/CIA denied ever talking to anyone!!!).
He sent emails to several friends stating things were getting too hot, and was going "off the grid/underground" until he finished his investigation/story.
One day later, his new MB crashes (single vehicle accident), the official police report stated high speed/lost control/impact with a tree.
Tree was TOTALLY undamaged, vehicle shows damage inconsistent with tree impact, engine/trans was around 150ft BEHIND where car came to rest on the tree.
Conspiracy theories abound over Michael Hastings death - NY Daily News

Don't think for a minute if it can be hacked, the US government won't use it.
