No, as long as the risk of exploiting a hole is minimal, you keep fixing the holes while it's on the market.

Everything has some type of vulnerability, and people will always try to find a way to exploit it. That doesn't mean a product isn't ready for the market.

P. S. That same spoof would mess with adaptive cruise control on a BMW as well.
So you actually prove my point.....it's one thing to "spoof" or "hack" a cell phone or DND or something else, but if you can do it to a car people can die. I am happy with my simple analog life thank you. My head is on a swivel when I'm driving etc. Enjoy your tech.
