Easy enough for a mechanic, or some alphabet agency with designs on harming you to do.
Tell me, do YOU trust our government enough to give your mobility over to them in this fashion?
I do not.
And some cars have a remote network connection.
You wouldn’t NEED a physical hands on with those cars.
You just need to be close enough.
{Think “OnStar” style stuff where they can remotely kill the car.}

An automated car does not give access to the government. It is self-contained and does not depend on remote input. In fact, in the video I posted they talked about how they don't even really need GPS input.

“And some cars have a remote network connection. You wouldn’t NEED a physical hands on with those cars. You just need to be close enough. {Think ‘OnStar’ style stuff where they can remotely kill the car.}”

Again, a remote access kill switch is completely segregated from the other control functions of the car. By that I mean physically separated in the hardware. You've watched too many movies if you think a hacker can overcome that barrier remotely.
