Remote hacking infotainment stuff is one thing, but if actual vehicle controls aren't air-gapped, someone seriously fucked up. All vehicle controls should be strictly local.

    I think many vehicles still use the old CAN bus that just wasn't setup with external connectivity in mind. It's well known that even premium brands often reuse all the same components.
    I've heard that Tesla were the first to replace this with something closer to a modern network in the cybertruck, of all things.
