They're illegal thanks to crash testing and emissions.
Anything since keyfob remotes were added is suspect. How many of these already have a killswitch built in? If it receives data it might be hackable. The special message just needs to be long enough that noise and interference will not trigger it in any practical time window (decades * millions of vehicles). While cars have had a stereo for a long time, the radio, until recently, had a completely analog audio path and there was no signal path from the radio to control anything in the car.
No. Everything goes thru the radio. I know it sounds weird but just look at everything the "Radio" controls in your vehicle these days: it isn't just a radio. Remove it and your vehicle no longer runs, as everything ties into it as a central hub.
So, if you have one of these computers on wheels, and it flips out and tries to kill you. Perhaps putting a round through the radio, may be the only way to stop it.

I have an old car, but if you have a newer one. Would removing the radio system help remedy thia situation?

Good point!
