    This is why technically software is a liability. The less code you need, the better, since every line of code is a potential vulnerability and something to maintain, update, etc.

      Ideally I don’t want my car to be a computer at all, maybe isolated chips to run the abs and such very well defined strictly necessary tasks but that’s it. Maybe a company will happen to make a good car at one point in time, but there aren’t any companies you can trust not to fuck it up if they have perpetual access to tinker with it.

        Yeah, none of that would be a problem if the car isn’t connected to anything (WiFi, Bluetooth etc.)
