bollocks. all available research suggests the average person strongly prefers manual controls and buttons and is not into touchscreens and the like.
and none of those discussions precludes auto manufacturers from just putting mics in the car -- even with 95% old school buttons they could just wire it up to listen to you and pipe it out to a tiny LTE transmitter.
The research is wrong because people are buying the iPad on dash cars. The data collection, sampling, or methodology of the research presents a different result than the market reality of what people actually bought with their money.
the implication of the "don't be acquired" and "don't be penetrated" is some sort of anti-air or anti-tank missile.
"killed" in this case would be equivalent to having something penetrate and hit sensitive systems. at that point it's basically just a function of what the penetrator is trying to do -- if they just want $$$ they ransomware. if they want exfil or DoS or making critical systems do naughty things that is also a kill.

not necessarily - this model is also taught for army/marines type ground combat operations, in how to effectively camouflage, how to manoeuvre.
the "don't be penetrated" is more of an equipment choice and engineering decision specific to armor and active kinetic counter-munitions systems, like anti-drone shotguns, tanks with active protection systems, chobham armor, etc.
If a munition has been fired by you, first try to not get penetrated by it at all, and if that fails, try to prevent something catastrophic like a bolus of explosive formed penetrator molten copper from spraying into the inside of your armored personnel carrier.
the security controls for a bike on a high mountain are not obscurity, they're the lack of oxygen (that kills), the cold (that kills), the height (that kills), and the literal sheer difficulty of getting there.
you could put the bike right on the side of the mountain without any obfuscation and it won't get got because ain't no one gonna die for a bike.
its like how we know where dead people are on Everest but we can't get them down; they serve as landmarks.
also, wasn't static causing fires at gas station pumps, esp. in cold weather?
