:( this is a silly response.
Who are these sinister organizations? Chaos? E.V.I.L.? Or the FSB or what?
A terrorist attack? Wouldn't you be more worried people going crazy and driving down the wrong side of the highway?
By your thinking maybe we shouldn't even have cities because they are dense target rich environments. Even under an attack by Loki or whatever sinister organization from a comic book, you're still talking about something far safer than what we have currently.
I think it's hilarious that HN is the first place to see people saying the Boston Bombing was no big deal and more babies are killed each year by peanut buffer or something but yet here we have people more concerned about Magneto controlling cars and causing terrorist actions than reducing the very real 95% of traffic deaths. That's pretty hard to take seriously!
- Apocryphon 13y agoI never said that we shouldn't have self-driving cars. I'm saying the code that govern these cars should be open-sourced. To prevent governments (or al-Qaeda or the mob or someone else with the resources to get hackers) from having an advantage in figuring out ways to abuse these systems. We already live in an age where pacemakers with wireless components can be hacked, and potentially kill the people who wear them.
