Chinese hackers claim they can take over drones or smart cars
Using $300 worth of equipment, Chinese hackers claim that they can steer drones and smart cars at their will by sending by fake GPS coordinates. Revealed at the Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas, Huang Lin and Yang Qing explained that by spoofing the GPS coordinates it was possible to convince drones that they were in restricted airspace or tell a car it was in the middle of a lake.
