Was the car connected to internet when hacked?

Why does a car need internet?

Edit:
This explains it and it was indeed connected to internet.

I've often thought something like this would be ideal for the old bill when they have to stop some scumbag in a car.

But of course, other scumbags would get hold of similar equipment to do just the same :(
