Absolutely no idea why you're being downvoted here when this is in fact the truth. Virtually all automotive computers use the CAN bus in literally ever modern car in existence.

It might be because Tesla also uses CAN bus, whereas the parent post implies that only "other automakers" do it. Plus, CAN bus is just layer 2/3, you could build secure extensions on top of it, but I agree it is insecure by default.

  That's wasn't what I intended to imply. Rather that it's not like other manufacturers found the secret recipe and we should somehow feel safer in their cars. Added an "also" for clarity.

  Hence "virtually all". You're absolutely correct

Absolutely no idea why you're being downvoted here when this is in fact the truth. Because some people value the pro-Tesla narrative more than the truth. This is too bad, because one can value the pro-Tesla narrative and the truth at the same time. (Putting the truth first, of course.)
