You can keep your self driving cars, I like driving.

And why does this vehicle have wireless access to it's control systems?

could be for something as innocent as updating maps in the gps system which need to be kept up to date so that new roads or old roads can be added/removed, what they said in the video is they used their exploit to get into the system then move laterally around to see what systems are linked together to send them commands, just down to shoddy programming basically.

Or cutting corners and cost on hardware. Ideally the control systems should have no direct link to the outside apart from the obd port.

That could be tricky if the control systems use the gps map data.
