There are major safety concerns if your car is taking anonymous, untrusted input on how it should drive. People could do anything from telling other cars to move out of their way to maliciously causing accidents.
- newaccoutnas 8y agoActually there are systems that talk to vehicles from the roadside, sending info such as when the lights will change. Although I doubt you'll see vehicle to vehicle systems unless they're in closed CAV (Connected Autonomous Vehicle) spaces like airports or closed loops (at least it'll be a while until it's a generally used thing on the roads of the future, if ever)
- cpeterso 8y agoThat's interesting. I hadn't thought of roadside status messages or closed networks. Information providers could sign their roadside message broadcasts with a private key (signed and sent from their HQ, not hardcoded in some roadside box!). I don't want to say "blockchain" is the solution here. :)
