Indeed but one has to question whether you actually want that level of control exposed given the dangers it presents.

There's a lot to be said for air gapping critical systems.

Given how the most sought-after car today literally receives driving instructions through an OTA update, I've got a feeling we've all collectively decided we're ok with the dangers this brings, even if we didn't actually take part in that discussion :-/
Driving instructions via OTA are fine as long as your in car entertainment system is separate from the cars engine control et al. Which is the air gapped point I was making.

Some cars are built this way too, thankfully.
