This article is pretty bad. There's no reason that automous vehicles have to be linked to electric vehcules, it just happens to be the case that Tesla is pushing both. The Lexus cars that Waymo uses are not electric for example. Automous also cars don't need communication with other cars to hit the market. It'd be nice for faster driving, but it's in no way a requirement. Hacking is a real concern, but I don't think it will stop adoption. It's also essentially unsolvable, companies will just need to have sufficiently good security measures that it occurs rarely enough to make automous cars safer than non-automous.
