A car could be self-driven while not connecting to any external networks. It still can get fresh traffic or weather data, but with those, you can't take over a car to make it a weapon.
- sbierwagen 9y agoAs long as there's no parsing bugs in the traffic data module or the weather display that can be leveraged into an exploit, ala CVE-2012-1457 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1457 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1457

Antyhing that uses network-contributed data is network-connected, even if the link is currently inactive (Case in point: Stuxnet).
