In Black Mirror, all cars in the world will simultaneously swerve into nearby pedestrians, buildings, or other cars.
- amelius 9y agoThat could happen during a massive, remotely-triggered software update.
- wiz21c 9y agoLike the one that happened some days ago with Occulus helmets.
- falcolas 9y agoJust imagine a batch of cars with malfunctioning inertial sensors (it's brought down more than a few of my drones). GPS and perception (through ML or LIDAR) will work most of the time to override such errors, but if there was a second malfunction... "The car is swerving left at 1m/s; correct right."
- PeterisP 9y agoThat could happen because of a malicious 'time-bomb' placed by a hostile state actor in such an update.
- wang_li 9y agoIt doesn't even need to be that. Imagine the shit show that a city would be when it's entire transportation fleet is immobilized because someone has messed with their safety features.
- carlmr 9y agoMore likely it would be something about dissidents being killed in their cars, or cars going after people who aren't liked.
