So I think we have a different fundamental problem. I do not think a system can be fully secure. I think the vast majority of security researchers would agree with me too. A common saying is "given enough time and enough will power, someone will break your system."

What we're talking about here is the discovery of a vulnerability. Not that the company knowingly shipped the product with this issue.

Security is a constant cat and mouse game. Security through obscurity is an effective method in the short run. A company cannot and will not be responsible for shipping a car that could be hacked unless security researchers could show that there was gross negligence.

I suggest never entering a car with a computer in it. This likely means the car you own. Basically if your car has power steering and power braking then it can be hacked.
