Cars are the pinnacle of junk hacking, because they are meant to be in your garage. Obviously there is no security on car computers. Nor (and I hate to break the suspense) will there ever be. Yes, you can connect a device to my midlife crisis car and update the CPU of the battery itself with malware, which can in theory explode my whole car on the way to BJJ.
"Cars today are less about the functionality of wheels and transmission and more about the total experience: music, computer integration, the experience driving it."
