Absolutely true.

But as more and more cars are moving towards being connected ("That's the dream, to have wifi in the car") it will become increasingly difficult to find cars that are immune to hacking...

I think all critical functions (powertrain, brakes, steering, etc) need to be on their own separate CAN bus that is air-gapped from any other CAN bus in the car. Simply having multiple CAN buses doesn't fix the problem if they can still communicate with each other.
