Actually the Iphone didn’t do it. The computers on board the car did. The command could have come from any device.

For $6 million I’d park everybody’s car at Stanford for them.

Suicide bombers are going to love that thing! Terrorists will love it but suicide bombers will hate it. Suicide will no longer be necessary so no more virgins or Allahu Akbar!
