Modern cars are constantly connected to the outside world. This makes them vulnerable to hackers who want to take control of the vehicle remotely.

Some few vehicles have an aftermarket option of replacing the oem computer with a “dumber” version that works like old car computers did, which is to say it only has what’s needed for function and general diagnostics.
Which makes/models are those?
