I do not want my car hacked

Hackers have found a way to hack into cars through the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring). I do not want a car with a computer virus. I am willing to drive a car with computer codes in the car but I get nervous when they update software. I am afraid they will introduce computer viruses into the car.

Eek!

For now, it's ok but I think it is going to get worse. My Saab gives weirdo error messages on rare occasions.
