I agree with you. Security experts work long and hard to keep the Internet (and what's connected to it) safe, and they should be justly proud of what they do.
Every single one of them will tell you some variation of "security is a cat and mouse game," but I'm not sure enough of them have internalized that in every game of measure and countermeasure, in each successive round, the stakes get a little bit higher, and eventually peoples' safety is going to be involved, not just their privacy or their peace of mind -- both of which have already been compromised far more extensively than anyone should be comfortable with.
Long-established car companies understand product safety in their bones, and that's why companies like BMW and Ford are talking a minimum of 5 years before they come out with autonomous cars. Elon Musk, who I generally admire, is playing with fire moving ahead with autonomous Teslas as soon as he can.

I'd be astounded if there are not already Botnet-connected cars out there.
The comment on gamer friend of mine shared on Facebook the other day, paraphrased: When it's the gaming networks, nobody says boo (but the gamers). But if Reddit or Twitter or affected, people lose their minds.
Oh, well.
We'll want to hear next about the exact nature of the attack, the possible source(s) of the attack, and what kind of security measures will be necessary to prevent a similar thing from happening again.

Security: Tackling DDoS

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said they are also looking into the matter.

Hackers demonstrated the ability to take over a moving vehicle a couple years ago, and automobile companies all took careful note. People who make nannycams and retail chain IT systems can afford to be cavalier about Internet security, but the auto companies are keenly aware that they absolutely do not fall into that category.
You can never trust any big corporation entirely, but odds are pretty good that the automotive industry is taking Internet security very, very seriously.
