content: I mean, what do you want people to do, not buy anything?  This vulnerability almost certainly extends to more brands than Volkswagen, and since just about every new car from any brand now ships with totally keyless ignition/locks you are losing the choice in the matter.    So now if you want a safe and secure car free from any kind of digital vulnerability, your only real options are to buy one from 10+ years ago.  Good luck finding one that old that hasn't been abused or isn't already halfway through its life cycle.    I agree that people need to focus more on voting with their wallet, but there's not always a convenient alternative.
