In a pivotal moment for the autonomous transportation industry, California chose to expand one of the biggest test cases for the technology.

As cool as the idea of self driving cars are, I don’t trust it not to become a future where script kiddies and novice hackers take control of vehicles and crash them for fun if AI gets involved.
Don’t even get me started on if a country had AI self driving cars and an enemy nation hacks the AI and sends directions that cause the car to end up damaging itself without you knowing. Or just uses it to cause all the vehicles in an area to crash and not be able to deploy airbags.
We’ve already seen many examples of the ignition and brakes being controlled remotely. It’s going to take a lot for these companies to convince people that autonomous driving is safe.
Who knows, maybe that’ll push companies to place an emphasis on security (and privacy)?
