However, new research demonstrates how the rise of connected cars could make entire cities vulnerable to hackers. In a new study published in the journal \u003Cem\u003EPhysical Review E\u003C\/em\u003E, physicists from the\u0026nbsp;Georgia Institute of Technology, led by \u003Cstrong\u003EPeter Yunker\u003C\/strong\u003E,\u0026nbsp;and from Multiscale Systems, Inc. used physics to analyze the future of automative cybersecurity. The team focused on potential hacks on vehicles, including potential mass destruction.
