> There's no API for controlling them apart from a CAN bus which is barely documented, not wireless,

The fact that the CAN bus is not wireless is rather a feature in terms of safety.

They also do weird stuff like having on bus for the safety critical systems and another for fun stuff like the window lifter. Sometimes the infotainment uses a third bus! /s

Most modern luxury cars have wireless diagnostics don't they? I believe BMW does at least. Should we shy away from them?
