As you know, our vehicles these days are computers on wheels. With the wrong vulnerability someone could shut the car off while you’re driving, create an uncontrolled acceleration, etc etc etc. Anything connected to the internet needs to be given special care.

In which case BMW, like others vendors already do, need to make that clear.
How many people receive notification to take their pre LCI G01 in for a software update due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities ? These are still computer on wheels connected cars.
