Existing laws? Surely intentionally hacking a cars navigation system is a crime in most (all?) states. Analog would be that I can’t go around laying nails and thumbtacks on the highway.

Many different methods of hacking are illegal, and yet they still occur. Nails and thumbtacks less frequently.

That's like saying that "Gun Free" zones are the solution to preventing shootings. If the law is practically unenforceable, you need a different solution.

Spoofing GPS is already illegal, but that doesn't mean people cant do it.
