An executive/politician gets into a car and it gets hacked to either kidnap or kill them...\
How can you be sure a self driving bot hasnt been IED'd
etc...
Not fear mongering, but its as just as important as crypto comms...
But what will happen when the first assassination happens via a hacked AI car
Autonomous vehicles will eventually save tens of thousands of lives a year, but public perception will be based solely on the lives they kill.
neighbor pranks: "someone takes my car and makes it do uber at night. its there in the morning but its like a public toilet"
flash mobs of hijacked cars jamming downtown areas to impede emergency response to $bad_behavior
parades might need heavier blockades
Rules for thee, not for me.
Executive/politician security teams aren’t going to be buying self driving cars for their clients.
I think auto cars are going to be a really really profitable channel to netsec...

Around 15 years ago I got a car in manhattan (im from SF) - and I was driving through midtown and a taxi pissed me off, and I cut him off... in retaliation, however, and this was amazing ;
A F-ton of taxis immediately swarmed around me and boxed me in to having to drive super slow...
But the immediacy of their reactions to me and that ONE taxi traffic-fighting was astonishing..
so - cyber security should be all over this? I havent seen this at all in media, I take that as a bad sign.
