Just imagine the automotive version of ransomware...

[Pontiac]

I can imagine ransomware that would shutdown the entire fleet of autonomous vehicles in the entire nation.

I figure that all the autonomous vehicles would talk to each other on the road while moving to increase safety.

This means that the cars would be able to infect each other like a virus spreading.

If the virus goes undetected it eventually infects every autonomous vehicles in the nation.
