Your car doesn’t just drive anymore.
It stores data, connects to your phone, tracks locations, and communicates with the cloud. And according to cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano, that makes modern vehicles—and the dealerships that sell and service them—prime targets for criminals. In this episode, we sit down with one of the most trusted voices in personal and digital security to unpack a reality most drivers aren’t prepared for: cars are now computers on wheels.
Robert has spent over 30 years investigating crime, identity theft, and cyber threats. He’s appeared on CNN, CNBC, ABC, NBC, Fox News, and more—but today, the focus is on what every car owner, buyer, and dealer needs to understand right now. In this conversation, we break down:
- What data modern vehicles collect
- How hackers exploit connected car systems
- Why dealerships are attractive cyber targets
- The hidden risks tied to apps, EVs, and remote access
- Simple steps drivers can take to protect themselves
