I assume you are saying that cars up to 2012 did not have the vulnerability now on board every car which allows external takeover through a master computer system — thus all the inexplicable crashes by high visibility people with no attempt at braking, right? Do you know whether a 2012 Volvo C70 T5 would be secure from this?

I am going off memory. It was standardized in the US all cars received in 2012 with respect to satellite comms. As someone else pointed out it actually goes back to 2004 with respect to sat comms on board and how they communicate with the computer. But in 2012 I believe fed mandate was to allow two way communication with on board computer and outside sources. No US sold vehicle would be safe from this. But it was never really discussed in the public eye as far as I know.
