Nothing is perfect but the safety downsides of an old car are widely considered to be far greater than the threat of hacking or bad code in a new car.

"widely considered" by the same industry who would love to sell you a new car...

I take your point but my definition of new in this case is "something under 4 years old or so" - basically a newer car. So you can totally buy a second hand car.
