The "infotainment" system, it appears, is "not very".
Translation: The built in "mobile phone" chipset is vulnerable to remote attack. According to Nissan, Infiniti, Ford & BMW, the only thing someone can do is disable non-safety critical features..

This is the new world of motoring in the future.
In the past a man would cut your brake pipes if he didn't like you (or found out you were shagging his wife or daughter....or both).
Today, a spotty nerdy fifteen year old taking a break from self abusing, can make your brakes fail from his bedroom.

What we are seeing in these cases is that new technologies are being let down by older supporting tech with vulnerabilities that are known or become known through their lifecycle. I can see a shift in the future whereby there will be security warranties similar to product warranties but which are linked to home/car insurance policies (ie your declared home security equipment must be within it's security warranty for your claim to be valid in the event of a theft) and also linked to your Cyber insurance if you are a large corporation handling PII.
Things are going to become very interesting in the it/network security space in the next decade or so :y (which is good for me) :D
