To play devil's advocate, I don't think most people would be fine with their car ramming into a military base after an unfriendly firmware update.
However, I agree that the risks to individuals and their freedoms stemming from these technologies outweigh the benefits in most cases.
The better question then is why the actual f** can an OTA firmware update touch anything in the steering or powertrain of the car, or why do I even need a computer that's connected to anything, and one which does more than just make sure I get the right amount of fuel and spark, or why on earth do people tolerate this sort of insanity.
