This headline got me thinking, what if such a car gets infected with malware?
Let's see. I don't know much about self-driving cars, but I imagine they use plenty of cameras and image processing software. That might make it pretty suitable to run some facial recognition software. Now multiply that with the botnets we already have today. The result might be assassination by malware: Upload a set of facial features, distribute by botnet to all infected cars, wait until target gets in range, accelerate.
Optionally report success and uninstall malware in the milliseconds between inevitable outcome and actual impact to destroy evidence.
