Is this a market ripe for disruption - people are still buying a product that doesn't work? Also the market is likely to change over the next decade. What happens to car crime once a large number of vehicles are self drive?

- TheOtherHobbes 10y agoIt would be easy to make a car where the door latches snap shut, the car fills with sleeping gas, and it drives itself to the nearest police station. If there isn't a police station in range, the car can skip the sleeping gas and deliver a two hour lecture on the evils of car crime - which would probably be more of a deterrent than jail time. Of course, false alarms would be even more inconvenient than they are now.
- executesorder66 10y agoI'd imagine people would block cars without passengers from escaping. Rip out the tracker and any other remote control components. Then tow it to a chop shop and sell the parts for scrap.
- Toenex 10y agoI guess network security will matter too. A thief could reroute a moving vehicle in transit and send it to their favourite chop-shop. In fact, given that you will only ever be a passenger in a self drive vehicle, why limit yourself to stealing empty cars?
