The difference is that there aren't 25,000 (conservative estimate) people looking to hack/scam/destroy stuff on local radio channels.
Which means that someone would need to target me specificly, not run across the poor/no security on the internet link from my car while scanning the 'net.
Besides, the car proper (ICE/electric motor, steering, brakes, etc.) and the software that runs it shouldn't be accesible by anyone unless they have both physical access to the car and a reasonable amount of security (key fob, password, etc.) to be allowed to muck around with the car's operating software.
Infotainment systems, sure. But those need to be on separate, air-gapped hardware.

- Dylan16807 5y agoA valid opinion, but not what I'm trying to argue for/against. I'm saying that if that remote access is your goal anyway, internet vs. not-internet doesn't feel like it has a big safety impact.
