This is possible with most modern vehicles today. They nearly all have cellular modems built in and very few have the driving related systems separated from the 'infotainment' crapware. 2014ish jeeps could be bricked by OTA updates to the fucking radio, there's a good Defcon talk about it

Yes, but I'd much rather have the company controlling the official switch not be directly under the control of China.

The US is only marginally better right now, but they have less incentive to do it and less control of their car companies.

A vulnerability was found this year in an undisclosed major car manufacture in the USA that gave total control to an attacker over all vehicles sold by that manufacture's dealerships. Remote start/shutoff, unlock doors, GPS tracking, even transferring the ownership to another person. All modern vehicles are a security nightmare, the chinese are no better, no worse. https://eaton-works.com/2025/10/13/def-con-33/
