Almost any car with drive by wire and/or modern safety features (lane assist, forward crash avoidance, etc) can be controlled (to an extent) via the CANBUS.

It’s different for (almost) every car, but you’d be amazed how easy and fun cars are to hack on, as long as you keep it off the streets.

It's definitely lots of fun, but I didn't know it was easy, I thought the CAN bus was read-only. I can't wait to discover what my car supports.

If it was read-only... how would you be able to 'clear a check engine light'...?
