1. A method comprising:
determining that a wireless network of a vehicle has been compromised based on inbound signals from an external network causing an unexpected change in a functionality of the vehicle;
based on the unexpected change in the functionality of the vehicle, providing a notification to the user indicating that the wireless network of the vehicle has been compromised;
receiving a user selection indicating that the wireless network of the vehicle has been compromised;
in response to receiving the user selection, causing the vehicle to be disconnected from the compromised wireless network;
selecting a different network other than the compromised wireless network;
communicating, over the different network, with a network-connected device within a predefined vicinity of the vehicle to notify the network-connected device that the wireless network of the vehicle has been compromised;
while the vehicle is disconnected from the compromised wireless network:
performing a remedial action to enable the vehicle to navigate from a current location of the vehicle to a safe location;
wherein performing the remedial action comprises: causing, using control circuitry disconnected from the compromised wireless network, the vehicle to navigate from the current location of to the safe location based on instructions received from the network-connected device, and
wherein communicating, over the different network than the compromised wireless network, with the network-connected device is performed based on a user profile of a user positioned within the vehicle.
