It’s how massive worms like NotPetya and Wannacry were able to spread, despite patches being available for the exploits used.

Presumably, it will be the same with vehicles. Bu the consequences for a successful hack could be much higher. As a countermeasure, will vehicle security standards require your car to be connected via home or office wi-fi to receive and install the latest patches? Will unpatched operating systems hinder insurance claims? Will warranties be void if an OS is un-patched for XX days?

We wait to see.

It’s imperative for cars to be protected from hacking.
