based on information from 20 automakers. the key findings - most cars on the market use wireless technologies that could be vulnerable to hacking. most makers didn't know or can't say if they were hacked. only two know of any hacking much less defending it. most car-makers collect a lot of data including where you drive, park and where your car sits. 50% transmitt it wirelessly and it may not be secure. you usually don't find out about the collection and can't opt out without disabling features like navigation. link it to the car, you bring contacts text messages and phone history. the real danger is driving will include endless amounts of data and we'll depend on the data to keep us alive. >> we are simulating a scenario in which we'll go through a green laght.

now someone is running a red. and the cars communicate and worn each other. >> some dealers recalled kill switchers, allowing them to remotely disable a car if the owner misses amounts. that is the beginning. as cars communicate and can be remotely accessed they'll give criminals a great view of daily habits a sense of where we live and a chance to take over vehicles. >> the alliance of automobile manufactures and lawmakers put together consumer privacy principles which puts toot the data collected. it's not clear how that will work. and technology is changing. we are right on the edge of a very new world here. if the automakers don't learn to

this brings to mind george orwell in 1984, where screens spied on people. samsung said it's no big deal no data is being kept. do we need to be concerned about the technology. >> in this instance i don't think we need to be worried. we have to hit the button on the remote. it's not like it's there listening into the casual conversation. some other device amazon echo and xbox they are transmitting the data to base. best to figure out what you can do. whether they su trigger a dons. it's not something to be worried about, it is something we should think about going forward. >> you team people will turn it on if you want to communicate with the tv. personnel information could be out there in the internet.

is that an issue, that people could access that? >> it is an issue and a warning that samsung is putting forward. if you request an internet search by your voice, we'll pass it off to a third party. it's something you need to be aware of that that information will go out on the internet. you wouldn't want to do a search of the social security number or address. that's something that samsung wants to warn against. >> let's talk about the cars and senator morky's report and the risk of hacking. it could take over your car as you drive it. a couple of companies take minimal methods to protect. how concerned should we be. >> you shouldn't be worried about a hacker taking over the car and taking your brakes. it will be highly unlikely.

going former when we have the communications when cars can talk to each other, it's more of a risk. what you need to be worried about is stealing the car based on the wireless transmitter. the metropolitan police in london issued a warning that they need to be careful about using the systems. they think up to 25% of car thefts in loibd are thanks to people hacking into the key chain or breaking into the car and hacking into the car to reprogramme another key to make it act like a wireless key change. it's more of a concern than someone hacking into your car and disabling your breaks. >> there are so many other things connected to the internet that we have to worry about finally, it's the holy grail of baseball. a signed photo of shoeless jackson. he was illate rate and rarely
