Heart ICD device, sure they can hack it. They have to have a receiver/emitter within 6” of the device if they want to do it covertly or hack your home monitor (they come with one) and do it that way.
They could conceivably build a stronger emitter/receiver for themselves that would give them more distance, but the price goes up geometrically by the inch.
Then again, if you’re the target of good ‘social engineering’ then I supposed they could slip a controller into your bed or back of your favorite lounge chair.
As for the car? Some idiot bureaucrat will try and get a police kill switch installed on future makes and models, once they do that, it’s hack able for sure.

This is one of the reasons I became a classic vehicle enthusiast. If I wanted to connect my car/bike/&c., I know how to do it myself, and do it ON MY OWN TERMS.
It’s something I’ve considered, given the pacemaker that’s sitting in my chest. Yes, it can be remote controlled, in fact, that’s how the Doc tunes it. As you stated, though, there’s a lot of security in the inverse square law. If somebody could put enough RF on you to stop your heart, they wouldn’t need to. And that monitor on your nightstand (and mine) - it doesn’t and can’t send to your heart. It can send to the NSA. Which is how those guys know about my fabulous sex life. (Sobbing).
