- LinuxBender 3y agoDrive by wire doesn't require networking. That's not what I said. Drive by wire is required for self driving. Networking is not required but just happens to be a thing on all of these cars. That is how they get their updates for self driving. Are you aware of a level 4+ self driving car that is not connected to the internet? I suspect that even if there were physical linkage that would not be sufficient to give override control to the operator. The motors will be stronger than some operators and would require a lever that could forcefully disengage the drive-by-wire. Even that may not be fast enough as it just takes one quick yank of the steering wheel to send someone into an oncoming big-rig which the attacker will see on the camera which I predict will lead to an underground of on-demand market of snuff porn as there are cameras facing the occupants in some of these cars.
