I realize that this isn't your key point, but it's worth pointing out that pre-2000 was not 15 years ago. My impression is that cars started turning into mobile surveillance posts / attack vectors around 2008, but it varied among brands and certainly was slower among commercial vehicles, as well as certain brands like GM (with OnStar) and Lexus/Toyota (with their licensed version of OnStar) that began including these features in the mid-90's.
