Yeah. No one thinks of security. Remember how responsive jeeps was to the jeep hacks. And then we will send updates via USB drives in the mail. What happens when someone hacks our automated cars and just tells them to keep accelerating. Think of the devastation. You really think any manufacturers are giving much concern to security you are sorely mistaken. They will give us a warm fuzzy that they are, but everywhere I have worked development and new features have trumped security. The NSA will find back doors as usual and will keep them secret to exploit while others will find them and exploit them. Target and home depot can't keep your credit cards safe, what on earth makes you think Volvo or Tesla or Ford will keep you safe
Also what about all the displaced jobs. Mechanics, insurance agents, drivers, after market parts, junk yards, and others. Best argument I hear is they will have opportunities for the new jobs automated cars will provide. But no one can say what those opportunities are.
Just remember your perfect automated car is only as smart as the imperfect programmer who programmed it.
I am cynical about the inability to own a car the loss of freedom, the near constant tracking of my movements by corporations who will sell your soul for money, the targeted advertising and all the other crap. That being said I think the technology itself is awesome.
