This is why I buy old vehicles. Try hacking a carburetor.

My old Oldsmobile's carburator refused to be hacked, it did however have a habit of wanting to be rebuilt and replaced on a regular basis.

But no one can hack it especially if I am constantly working on it.

The real key here is they've added hardware to the car. "You can just walk by and add this to the car" - not exactly...they show what looks like a little Arduino-based mess of prototyping boards (3:58) and say that it has to be added to the CAN bus, so more like "you can spend an hour finding the right wires then splice this thing in, then good luck trying to keep it hidden". Not exactly prohibitively hard, but more difficult than they make it look. From that point on they make it look like any schmuck with a laptop can blow your car up, but again it all relies on having your own hardware installed on the car's control bus.
