Unfortunately in U.S.A. that is already an almost reality. :(

Ford has cars which use MS software for parts of its media system.

Scary to think that some hacker could find a means to exploit that
system and access who knows what on the car.

I have no faith in MS to not provide an open door to its systems and
then open a way to the cars systems. To me they do not have a good
security track record.

There will be no such car at my home. :)
