        I have replaced all that junk on my phone with a clean system I trust. cars not only don’t have alternative software, but using it would be illegal too.

        I reckon it soon shall be, the way such things are trending.

        The point you’re trying to make is, if I willingly carry around a battery powered security hole in my pocket all the time, why should I be concerned about another one installed in my vehicle?

        Well, should I decide I wish to travel without being monitored, I can leave my phone behind and still travel rapidly.

        My phone does not have access to my vehicle’s CAN bus; my phone cannot disable the vehicle from afar should it detect I performed my own repairs or that I am not christian or that my skin is browner than the dictator will tolerate or whatever else the police will decide to murder me for.
