The auto makers were even more reckless in their ignorance of the earlier controlled tests that these researchers performed and presented to said makers. Yet somehow the researchers are the bad guys.

Hundreds of thousands of potential deaths at the hands of vulnerable vehicles versus maybe a dented bumper or two. I'll take the latter, please.
That doesn't seem to be true; Chrysler (the singular manufacturer involved) have, after being alerted to the hack prior to this report, already issued a patch. The researchers are practicing responsible disclosure, have the co-operation of the manufacturer, and are going public with the details at Blackhat next month.
This Wired piece is NOT part of that responsible vulnerability disclosure, it's a teaser to hype up their blackhat talk. It was not necessary to get this piece in Wired to save "hundreds of thousands" of lives. I guess you could argue that the vividness of this imagery will encourage people to follow through on getting their Jeeps patched, so there's that, I suppose.
Since you've repeatedly made this claim, do you have a link to back up the assertion that there are manufacturers who were ignoring this research who will now pay attention because of the crazy stunt Wired pulled?
Perhaps you should educate yourself before saying stupid, reckless things. The claims of the article are no defense.
If someone prefers people making stupid and reckless arguments to other people civilly pointing out that those arguments are stupid and reckless, I'm not concerned about their perception of me.
Or is basing one's statements on the subject matter alone only valid when you happen to agree with it?
