EXCERPT: The smarter our vehicles become, the more vulnerable they'll be to hacking such as the regular attacks we've constantly been warned about before on our computers and smartphones. Now the government has released it's own public service announcement, too. In a joint effort among the FBI, the Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the public is officially being warned of the real dangers of remote exploits of cars on American streets....

Imagine explaining to your insurance company that your accident was caused by a hacker momentarily disabling your brakes.

Insurance companies will probably run a cloud version of a blackbox (always on telemetry) that would take all vehicle data at all times to work out if an attacks occurring/occurred. If you had an accident they would therefore already likely know, in fact they'd even know if you rang them straight away or not.
