Driving habits and all the data tracking that will be standard in a few years will absolutely be critical to your insurance company, and it stands to reason that they would use any semblance of hacking any part of your car and thus risking the purity of the data (nomatter how unrelated) as a pretense to deny coverage.

What happens if the computer is destroyed in an accident? Nothing, because insurance companies aren't insuring driving habits, they're insuring property. People modify cars every day all day and can still obtain insurance.
