Security Issues With CANBus?

Interesting article I haven't seen elsewhere... looks like it needs physical access or wifi access. Some discussion of OBD access, which I believe Tesla doesn't allow fully?

Hackable flaw in connected cars is ‘unpatchable’, warn researchers

It's more of a FUD piece.

While automakers should take security more seriously in a digital age, the likelihood that someone will exploit the CAN bus is pretty low. There are easier ways to kill someone in a car so why waste your time.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty useless when you need physical access to it unless some special hookup was available. Thought I'd post it for reaction!
