Last month we reported on hackers who remotely took over a Jeep Cherokee from miles away, and now it seems Uber have hired them. On Friday Uber snapped up Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, the hackers who exposed a serious security vulnerability in Fiat Chrysler vehicles, which resulted in the first ever recall for potential car hacking. On Friday an engineer at Uber's Advanced Technologies Centre in Tucson announced on Twitter that Miller and Valasek would be joining him there. This comes two days after the company announced a partnership with the University of Arizona to develop autonomous car tech.
