A car is a hardened target ---largely shielded, built to coexist with
impulsive EMI from the ignition system, etc.  When they go to fiber optic
busses instead of copper cables, they'll get more resistant (modulo the
resistance of the i/f modules).

Something like a bunch of personal radios or a TV van would be more
vulnerable.

And of course kompyuters..
