Thanks. The link appears to contradict wired's claim of "wireless

Fiat Chrysler said exploiting the flaw "required unique and extensive
technical knowledge, prolonged physical access to a subject vehicle and
extended periods of time to write code" and added manipulating its

"time to write code" doesn't make sense to me once you have written it.
