Integration of Computers into Cars

I've noticed a few posts about intelligent designs of vehicles and their operating strategies, like Uber. Newer cars are integrating more and more computers into their system, and that means programs of code.


This article highlights the possibility and proven capability of vehicles being hacked into, even if codes are secret. A generation ago, the radio, ignition, lights, air conditioning, were all separate. New cars have a centralized system using the computer as the brain. How do you feel about buying a car that relies on a computer to start?
