Another reason to pump the breaks on automated cars (in addition to many others). Forget changing your radio stations, wait until hackers are able to steer you off a bridge.

Pretty sure that is a cell/GPS signal, not "internet". And doubtful there's enough inter-connectivity to allow a hacker access to any system and make changes. Those programs to send data to BMW on the car status are read-only.
As to Bluetooth, I would be cautious, if the car is in "discovery" mode there have been hackers known to access cellphones in that state.
