Most cars use separate buses for the critical control systems and the infotainment/GPS/etc. They learned that lesson after the infamous demonstration of hacking a Jeep on the highway several years ago.

It's conceivable that someone could push bad updates to Tesla autopilot software, or briefly stop peoples' radios from working, but quiet OTA systems like that are the exception rather than the rule.
