And once hackers get a hold of them?
You can bet the current administation has already commissioned a team to study how driverless vehicles can be used to assissinate political opponents. Unofficially of course.
Forget about hackers. I’m concerned that my Apple car will drive to Cupertino occasionally to join the hive.
Actually I can see a plausible scenario where people will be identified by their cell phones, including their location. That exists, both by actual ID, and by demographic by following your political activity.
Once Govco has ID’d you and your location, it would be simple to kill you with a driverless car and make it look like an accident or a malfunction.
Remote car bombs set off by our new “guests†from mooslime lands?
It makes more sense to develop driverless trucks. They would have the same economies as trains.
