From current Obama proposals, just the opposite - corporations get more immunity, not less. I don't think the security landscape will improve that much until businesses are properly affected on the bottom-line.

As far as the new smart cars are concerned, there are so many unfortunate accidents that can happen to wireless/radio devices. Boiling oil being a favourite.

Since hackers first began demonstrating that they could take over cars’ digital systems to slam on brakes or hijack steering, most automakers have done everything they can to avoid publicly discussing whether their vehicles are vulnerable.
