cars. today's auto industry has transformed itself into one of the most high tech industries in the world. cars now have as many as 10,000 lines of computer code in them. one of the most anticipated announcements of the black hat convention, two infamous hackers, chris and charlie revealed today how they were able to hack into a 2014 jeep cherokee remotely. they hacked into it from their living room while someone else was driving it down the highway compromising the car's security and endangering the car's security. how dangerous our cars are today. while the feat was attempted before by academics, the information was never revealed as too sensitive. a major wakeup call for the auto industry, security patches that seem frantically thrown today. the federal government is threatening to increase its scrutiny of computers in cars. that's why hackers like chris and charlie are hell-bent in revealing their hacking techniques to the world. they want more people to hack more makes and models, not

i asked him to step out of the car. he didn't want to step out of the car. is it against the law to not step out of the car? no. no, it's against the law to not do what i ask you to do. >> the passenger still refuses to exit the car and trooper goins is losing patience. >> we can do it the easy way or the hard way. which way do you want to go? >> you just stop for a moment in your mind and think to yourself, am i prepared? something's fixing to happen. >> although she senses danger, trooper andresen focuses on the driver, as the passenger emerges from the car and faces trooper goins. >> took one step out and he looped. and underneath his leg he had a saturday night special, a .22 revolver. he just hooked it with his pinkie finger and he had me. less than heartbeats, he had me. >> this guy is fighting with him. and barry's trying to get his gun out. i can see he's trying to get his gun out. and i'm going for my gun. and fresh out of recruit school. all i wanted was cover. >> andreesen backs away as the scuffle between goins and the armed suspect quickly escal

he said, yeah, i hit a car. he said do you know where the car was? he said it was on the shoulder. said, did you see the car when you hit it? yeah, i saw the taillights. i said did you maneuver the brakes or try to avoid a collision. he said he didn't have time to do that. >> the jeep hit the back left side of the parked car. steve said he was driving approximately 60 miles per hour at the time of the accident, and he was wearing his seat belt, but deborah was not. >> that was out of her character. she was pretty religious about wearing seat belts and made it a point to everyone else that they needed to have theirs on also. >> at deborah's autopsy, the medical examiner found skull fractures and evidence that her brain had been jolted violently inside her skull from side to side. >> the finding of the pathologist that did the autopsy was that the death was a result of a motor vehicle accident. the blunt force trauma and the injuries that were observed, the skull fracture, the bruising of the brain, any of those could have been consistent and would have been consistent with being kil

and there was no evidence the car had recently been cleaned. but underneath the car, investigators found something trapped in the undercarriage. >> there was a significant quantity of this dried plant material, some of it very large pieces, and those were removed and analyzed later. but had this plant material been there for weeks, you certainly wouldn't expect to find such large pieces of it still attached to the undercarriage. >> could these dried weeds tell investigators anything about genna's murder? >>> doug mouser told police he was the last person to leave the house on the morning his stepdaughter went missing. he claimed genna was cleaning her bedroom when he left. >> there was no physical evidence that linked him, no like hair samples or dna, anything like that. >> there was no physical evidence. none. there was zippo, zero, nil, nada, nothing. >> yet investigators found some suspicious plant material underneath doug's car, which they sent to forensic botanist dr. fred hrusa. he identified the usual specimens you would expect to find u

even when the car flipped over they were still hitting the gas. >> officer carson jumps out of his car and with another officer grabs the three suspects. aside from cuts from the broken glass, no one is hurt. >> the roof caved in maybe five, six inches in the center, the windshield was pushed the whole way down. >> all three suspects are arrested. among the charges are armed robbery and motor vehicle theft, malicious destruction of property and two counts of resisting arrest. looking back on that incident, officer carson realizes what a dangerous situation he was in and how lucky he is. >> i'm just happy that when it's all said and done i walked away from it. >> holy [ muted ]! >>> coming up, a driver plows into an overpass at 100 miles an hour. >> the driver was three lanes over from where the cash had occurred. >>> a shootout from the back of a taxi. the tale of two very different dogs. the dog whisperer weighs in. >> well, look at his tail. it's up, and he's having a great time in the police car. taxpayer money. he doesn't know that. >> when "caught on camera: dash cam diaries" cont

consumers are walking out of their car and leaving the cars on. we really, you can't educate every consumer. what we have to do is make the cars more compatible with the consumer. >> two issues i want to get to. first of all what about car rentals, are they safe? lauren, i will ask you. >> i do know for a fact senators are putting up legislation, they want to make sure all the rental cars are checked. i had a choice of a vehicle i didn't want to rent because i knew it had a takata air bag. with that thought, i went with a hyundai. it made me feel more comfortable. imtell you how many people get these vehicles that have ignition switches and other recalls, that concerns me. rental car companies really are all about making revenue. each vehicle brings a certain amount of revenue, they don't want it in the shop. this is a time where i back the legislation. shouldn't be selling cars that aren't repairs. you are putting drivers at risk. >> now days people sell their own cars and do so on-line. are they responsible for the car if recall notices are igno

tesla also says you guys hacked from inside of the car, not outside of the car. do you care to clarify that? >> that's correct. but it is much cooler than emailing a patch. what they have is a mechanism they're able to transmit a patch over the airwaves to the car, and it sitting there in the car, ready for user to click yes, it installs itself. much cooler. we got through inside of the car. there is cable inside the car, we plugged into it. much like someone going into office network and plugging into the switch to see what computers are there. we scanned computer systems and looked for vulnerabilities. those vulnerabilities is how we got in. deirdre: that is how you got in and what were you able to do? i read stopping a car at low speed. a, is that true, and b, what else? >> we were able to, once we got into the system, infotainment part of the system we were able to issue commands towards the vehicle itself. these are all, mind you legitimate commands that the car uses. for example, to put on parking brake, stop the car, put it into neutral but we issued it wh

the car looked like it was facing out. don't know how this individual driving this vehicle could have gotten enough speed to run over somebody and kill them in the short distance. >> investigators searched the stolen vehicle for clues to the driver's identity. there were no fingerprints in the car, not even on the steering wheel. but investigators found blood inside the car on the passenger side, which was very suspicious. >> then instantly, it gets more interesting. >> and the focus of the investigation began to change. so you're a small business expert from at&t? yeah, give me a problem and i've got the solution. well, we have 30 years of customer records. our cloud can keep them safe and accessible anywhere. my drivers don't have time to fill out forms. tablets. keep it all digital. we're looking to double our deliveries. our fleet apps will find the fastest route. oh, and your boysenberry apple scones smell about done. ahh, you're good. i like to bake. add new business services with at&t and get up to $500 in total sav

the car had been rigged. something wasn't right. >> the bottle cap would be put in there in lieu of a person to hold the gas pedal in position so the vehicle could be operated without a driver. >> to see what effect the bottle cap would have on nick's car, investigators put an identical cap in the carburetor of another car. for safety purposes, a test driver sat behind the wheel to stop the car after the test. when the engine started, the car moved on its own. accident experts estimated the car was traveling at 25 miles per hour when it left the road. the embankment slowed the car. and by the time it hit the water, it was moving at only 15 miles per hour. nick's glasses were found in the car. and investigators wanted to know if nick had been wearing them when the crash occurred. so they created a styrofoam facsimile of nick's head. >> i weighted the styrofoam head so that it was approximately the same weight as nick's head would have been in that same situation. >> they put an identical pair of glasses on the

this is a view from inside an indy car or formula one car that leaves drivers exposed to debris coming towards them. the dangers have been highlighted in recent years. another driver died in july after spending nine months in a coma following a massive head injury during the japanese grand prix. two time indianapolis 500 winner dan wheldon was killed instantly when his head hit a pole and fence during a 2011 crash. another driver was hit in the helmet and he returned to racing the following season. >> alex young drove over two seasons and joins me from malaysia. you've driven across many motor sport categories. what's your view on open cockpits? >> i've done my whole career in open cockpits. it's an accident that took out justin, unfortunately was a freak accident. it's very rare to see head injuries, but it has happened before. you mentioned lucas massa and henry killed by a tire in 2009, tragically. they are looking to a canopy cockpit, a little coverage like a jet fighter, but haven't concludes the tests on that. if you cover the cockpit, it's distracting to the driver in case of an

and touring cars and gt cars. >> is there anything that can be done to keep the drivers safe and yetd to have an open cockpit? >> well, in the u.s. you are racing between indy racing, concrete walls and the accidents are contained within the circuit and you get this form of pack racing where everyone is running together and one crash involves lots of other cars, doesn't happen so much in formula one or in other series. to build a structure around a cockpit to save a driver would mean a radical redesign and radical rethinking of the cars. >> recently we have seen deaths in both indy car and formula one, both open cockpits, both high-speed racing. is one safer than the other? >> formula one is safer than indy car i would say. as i was saying in indy they tends to run close to the wall, the cars run close together. you get a domino effect. and the crash that just happened come back into the path of other cars. in formula one where the circuits are more open, a car goes off and it is gone and out of the way and doesn't involve other cars as much. but the danger is always there of course.

you have to realize you are moving the same speed as your car is. you car stops but you keep going. rear facing seat lets the force be dissipated. we prefer having children facing rear facing. if we could have everyone drive rear facing that would be the best way.

there was a guy on long island that had the million dollar car museum. and he had 250 cars. now you have one car in the museum. maybe on jacks with the wheels missing because i mean, that's how crazy it's gotten. >> reporter: but some wonder if the collectible car craze is a bubble that's getting ready to pop. prices for top cars have more than doubled over the past three years and there are now more and more speculators entering the market purely to buy cars for investment gains rather than to drive. >> the concern in the marketplace is just are they going the drive values through the roof? and, you know, really kind of create that frothy, speculative environment that will make people nervous. >> reporter: among the top cars are the pope ferrari. it was given to john wall ii and auctioned off. last night it sold for $5.5 million. ferrari testarossa used on the miami vice tv show in the 1980s could sell for up to $1 million. and the last car purchased by steve mcqueen the actor and racing legend is being sold, the 1976 porsche that could top $1 million. and the most expensiv
