I think security is a much, much larger problem. Designing a safe, secure and reliable system for vehicles to communicate information with each other on an ad-hoc basis and designing a system to make use of that information in a way that doesn't allow bad actors to cause mayhem may be an equally hard problem to solve as the generalized computer vision that we need to make the current self-driving thrust work.

I'm also concerned about security.
