Driverless cars don't freak me out too much, what get's my interest is that this is just a software update. The car was already built with the relays and servos and crap to turn the steering wheel and engage the brakes. Has steering been done by wire on many cars for a while now, and I just haven't been paying attention because I drive an old car?
Actually that doesn't matter. I'm getting away from my point, which is that this was just a remote software update. If the manufacturer can do a remote software update that takes control of driving the car away from the owner in a car that is currently on the road, then can't hackers also do remote software updates that take control of the car? The manufacturer is using the power for good, but hackers can use the power for anything they want. And this isn't a hypothetical car of the future. It's on the road right now. I ain't skeert. ![]() From Tesla: Quote:

What scares me is the trouble that computers and the internet have is security. All it would take is 5 or 6 cars running on the freeway at speed in heavy traffic to lock up the brakes immediate pile up.

It looks like you're trying to slow down.
Would you like help? *Get help with brake function *Just try braking without help

What should worry you is people using cars. The pileup only happens with cars driven by humans. Computers notice the stoppage and stop in time.

This is my biggest fear regarding computer-driven cars:
In this situation 'unsaved information' means 'your ass'.

That's only Telsa's cars, and not without the owners awareness/permission.

![]() Then my work here is done But not my work here... I have *glances at clock* 75 minutes left of my 5 hour telesales shift. It's been a boring shift - loooooong waits on the dialler between calls - and a very high number of hang-ups/call refusals. Very frustrating when you've been sat there for 10 mins waiting for a call and when it clicks and you start to speak you hear the hang-up tone. Wait another 10 mins - but with a quick call (30 second wait) just often enough to know that you have to remain ready to speak at any moment.
