Perhaps. I'll worry about such things after self-driving cars actually exist. Right now they are an engineer's fantasy, or a salesperson's exaggerated way of describing semi-automatic assistance features; who knows what the reality will eventually be.
- nsgi 11y agoIt's not only self-driving cars that use software.
- marssaxman 11y agoSelf-driving cars only exist as research prototypes. They are as speculative as flying cars. Tesla is the only offender I know about when it comes to real cars that actually exist and have obnoxious over-the-air update systems, because normal car companies are constrained by their contracts with dealer networks, so any software updates they might want to push on us would have to be done through the normal vehicle service program. This can easily be avoided by choosing a different mechanic. One can't very well choose a different mechanic if you are stuck a Tesla-like system that pushes diffs at you via radio, and that's what concerns me.
