My car runs software from 1997 without any issue. A well-built and properly isolated core shouldn't be a problem. No reputable manufacturer would give a user-installable piece of code a connection to the systems that control movement.

Way too many systems, from nuclear plants to manufacturers to traffic controllers are exposed to the internet (often through backdoors in LANs) and are vulnerable to network exploits. It is the faults of the designers they make them visible like that, but they do it, and it is an issue.
