All cars are insecure but what the government should be doing is forcing auto makers to allow customers to install their own security add-ons.
Car manufacturers are now locking down the OBDC ports because people were using them to add functionality to the car that they want you to pay for, like 3rd party adaptive cruise control. But this also prevents you from adding your own security.
They also fail to encrypt security systems but block you from replacing them with encrypted versions.
They claim they do it “for safety”, and while there is some merit to that, they are drawing the line way to far in the “we make money at the expense of your security and customizability” direction.
