Drivers of luxury vehicles face being 'hacked' by criminal gangs even while driving down the road, according to a stark warning delivered today.

AA president Edmund King said that permanent connections to the internet found in high-end luxury cars could provide criminals with the opportunity to interfere with a car's safety systems, even while it is driving along the road. 

Mr King said next generation safety systems will include a 'Co-operative Intelligent Transport System' where cars will be able to talk to each other, reducing the chance of road traffic accidents.
