On a lot of cars the infotainment system explicitly doesn't do that because of the security implications. Our 2021 has a lot of non-critical settings in the touchscreen display, and all of the road behavior settings are set on the screen behind the wheel and configured with the arrow keys on the wheel.

Depends on the make. For my 2013 Volvo I can adjust some of the driving assistant configs (e.g. disable blind spot information) and switch the light to left-hand traffic. This won't explode the car, but might be enough control for some malware to cause an accident.
