Not if done correctly and you take security seriously. Most auto manufacturers outsource software development and engineering.

Tesla also offer pretty good bounties every year on PWN2OWN:

Ye but transitioning from impossible to plausible carries an inherent risk. If that honey pot is attractive enough then it will gain more attention and increase the chances of zero days.

The potential impact of an exploited zero day in this context has the potential to be immense and that's the risk that troubles me.
