    The thing that pisses me off most is that cars have these vulnerabilities, and automakers do a shit job of protecting them, but do just a good enough job to keep me, the owner, from playing with them.

    Is there an option to physically disable this?

    When i finally get an EV I don’t want it to be online in any form, is it even possible to get one like that?

      It is not just EVs, this can be done on almost every new car in some form or another.

      Install the latest update and hope for the best.

      Or try disabling bluetooth.

      Or try to get a car without autonomous parking.

      Seems like there is no real option though.

      Bluetooth -> infotainment system -> CANBUS -> Lane Assist or adaptive steering

      Die infotainment system should not have this permission, but it does.

      The loophole is the connected smartphone from the driver. An attacker could deauthenticate it and mimic the car app.

    Never buy a tesla, Elon and any employee can just watch you, hell if they really wanted they could drive you into on coming traffic for the fun of it. Majority of those accidents were not.
