It's considerably easier to physically tamper with a car, such as the good old Hollywood standby of cutting brake lines.
Why worry about a fantasy of people trying to attack you remotely when there are plenty of real organizations that are much more likely to tamper with your car now?

It's only hard to exploit a serious security flaw the first time. Until they close it, it's relatively easy to exploit it thereafter. The relative lethality seems likely to favour the software option too. Personally I doubt I'd get above 10mph before I tried using my brakes - (manoeuvring into and then out of my road.) Compared to, 'Wait until you're on the motorway and accelerate as hard as you can into oncoming traffic.' I don't see too many people walking away from the latter case - the closing speed would be something like 190mph, disregarding braking on the part of the oncoming traffic.
