One aspect that is not covered is armed conflict (or terrorism). Imagine what would happen if enemy take over a fleet of autonomous cars, be it through hacking or by physical attack on a control center.
Another thing: imagine robbery with autonomous robots and cars.
I am waiting for Hollywood to catch up on these ideas - this would be very cinematic.
- ajmurmann 10y agoDoes the car need to be completely autonomous for that scenario to be a huge issue. Isn't completely controllable through on board computer bad enough? Someone could remote control and thus weaponize such a car already, could they not?
- zby 10y agoYeah - indeed, remote control would be enough. There is a problem with latencies though - so you need at least some autonomy in the car. And then there is also the thing that if it is remotely controlled - then it is easy to stop it - just jam the communication link.
- jakeogh 10y agoEliminating the passenger lets you make the tool more expendable. The attacker can control more than one and afford to lose a few.
