最近美国休斯顿就发生了这样一起案件：两名偷车贼通过笔记本电脑成功启动了一辆2010款吉普牧马人汽车，然后从车主家扬长而去，监控摄像头记录了车被盗的全过程。据警察透露，在同一地区，有4辆最新型的牧马人和大切诺基汽车也是以相同方法被盗走，至今仍未找回。

最新的统计报告指出，随着汽车电子系统的逐步升级，车辆被小偷黑掉的风险也日益增高，尤其像菲亚特、通用、特斯拉这类汽车公司，更应该大力提高汽车电子系统的安全性。菲亚特公司去年就召回了140万辆2014款吉普·切诺基汽车，主要原因就是黑客可以通过系统漏洞远程控制汽车的引擎、空调、收音机等设备。

通过这些现实的案例和教训，我们应该更清醒地意识到——高科技从来都是一把双刃剑，在享受舒适和便利的同时，我们更要警惕其背后隐藏的风险。
