All fine and sure, there will be and there are already many applications inside the car that communicate to or via the Internet. However, my scenario is that the internal onboard network is not directly communicating with the Internet. Those dedicated applications and devices that need to communicate to the outside world may use a special security gateway. Except the latter, no device will be directly exposed to the Internet.
