I imagine the chip shortage may make certain computer cables more expensive.

I feel antivirus can make their antivirus to able to start a scan by scanning a barcode/QR code with a webcam on a PC or laptop to start a scan, and make custom barcodes to start custom scans like only scanning a certain folder.

I think cars would also need antispyware software to prevent apps and your car company from tracking the driver's location.

I think there may already be some home-built and experimental cars with Windows Defender antivirus if it uses a Windows 10 PC to control the power windows, power locks, air conditioner, wipers, heater video player, backup camera, lights, and self-driving features.

But, it may take many more years for most regular cars on the road to come with antivirus because many people around the world like saving money, so they buy cheaper cars which are missing a lot of high-tech features like self-driving features.

I know a few cars already hacked, so we may need the antispy and malware sooner than later.

I heard the wireless key transmitters can be hacked in some cars, and the robber drive off with your car. Cars may also need ad-blockers to prevent touchscreen apps from showing ads and tracking you.

I heard you should keep your keys far from your car or wrap them up in tin foil to block any signals.

I heard some cars let you use a smartphone to start a car, so robbers maybe able to hack your smartphone to steal a car.

I think using a metal "steering wheel lock" like "the club" would be a good way for preventing most robbers from driving your car even if they can start it by stealing the car remote's signal.
