And if their control systems were vulnerable would they tell us? .... I can think of two stories .... one of the early 'fly by wire' cars (dim and distant past but a top of the range Rover saloon rings a bell) .... little old lady crashed in town claiming the car ran away from her.... she was ridiculed and prosecuted .... was working with radio fitments for police under cover cars at the time and we ended up not using that model as RF interference could interfere with the ecu with the same result .... company knew it and kept quiet. Probably a car near her with an illegal burner on their transmitter.
Early cash machines and staff being prosecuted and sacked for stealing when what they were sent to get out of the machine for petty cash proved to be wrong ... the issue was known about but the cash machine companies kept quiet and let it happen rather than damage confidence in the new system they had so much invested in.
Both things that have been resolved and the tech is much better thought out .... but I doubt corporate morals have had similar upgrades
