I wonder how much of that touchscreen system was vulnerable to external hacking?

Touch screen technology not always the best. I have a Honda HRV with touch screen controls for the radio. I hate it, you have to take your eyes off the road to change the station or raise or lower the volume. A really dumb idea on an otherwise great vehicle.
