Get-a-Waymo: How a burglar used a robotaxi to flee the scene

• i67vw3 4mo ago
  If self-driving vehicles can be used for petty burglary, eventually it will also be used for more serious crimes like contract murder etc. Actually there is no way to find who is inside the vehicle. If the criminal covers his face, his hands (no DNA, Fingerprint) and uses stolen info (phone number, credit card), police will have a very tough time with such crimes.

    This movie with a robot car would be quite different... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlcX_GXtf40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlcX_GXtf40 But a getaway car that obeys traffic laws, that's not gangster at all.

  "How did I get in this taxi?" "The door opened, and you got in."

  Add »hacking the self-driving car« to the equation and you get the perfect classical-cyber hybrid crime. Afterwards, the poor waymo cannot remember what even has happened. That's spy film material :-D

  > the Waymo user’s account information didn’t lead police to the suspect. In general, he said, it’s not unusual for a criminal to order a service with stolen information or a burner phone. Above is the part I was most curious on.
