In reply to the discussion: Two dead in Tesla crash in Texas that was believed to be driverless [View all]PatrickforB
(15,383 posts)I've been reading about cybersecurity, and the reality here is that it is a real battle for us to keep up with hackers, and our system is currently vulnerable in a number of places. These driverless cars are part of the Internet of Things (IoT), and as such, vulnerable to cyberattack. Be mindful that Russia shut down Ukraine in 2017 with the Petya hack, and we set Iran's nuclear capability back at least a decade with the Stuxnet hack.
So information security is a BIG deal across all industries, and until these driverless vehicles are somehow rendered hack-proof, I'm not going to be jumping up and down to get a driverless car, even though that would be wonderful because I dislike the head games other drivers play, and would much rather use commute time in reading or other work.
