Oh, Brother.
Well, I hope it aint’ that SIRI (I hate that beatch - she can’t understand a damn thing)
Now such vehicles will part of the collective to be controlled by our masters.
Oh come on now...that’s taking it a bit too far.
The Robo-Gestapo?
Oh SURE it’s for safety, sure.
IT’S TO SPY ON AND CONTROL US.
To log EVERYWHERE you go, EVAR.
What would the cars say to eachother?
“I got to this stop sign first, bozo!”
“Back off, Jack. You’re riding my bumper.”
“work out issues including security and privacy.”
Bovine scat.
When the radio channels are jammed or some hacker finds a way to spoof the signals, this could interesting.
Easy way to dispose of your political enemies. Alter breath analysis and maybe they can screw over the grieving family.
The cars “communicate” now. It’s called the middle finger.
Lemme guess, exempt Car companies fro lawsuits when smart cars run into other cars.
Great, now people can be driven off the road without having to hit them.
No evidence.
sending fake signals will be a snap.

Which Constitution established branch of government is the DOT?

Back in the 80’s, dad went to test drive a car.
He opened the door, sat down, and heard: “Your door is a jar.”
My dad yells, “No it’s not, it’s a door!”
Five minutes later, he tosses the keys back to the mystified salesman and says, “I don’t need a car that tells me when to wipe my butt.”
This would be hilarious to hack. Imagine the RF equivalent of shouting to a car, I JUST SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES or I’M A SCHOOLBUS, STOP!!!
Naturally the cops would have a stop button for each new car, no more high speed chases or traffic jams (or hassles getting a limo of Beautiful People to their important venue).
