Does submitting a FOIA request make any of that information public? Would I have to submit a FOIA request to all agencies to get a comprehensive list of my information? I personally think that this should be required for private businesses

Why is it sad? It would render mobile devices useless to run distributed computing on them because the battery would last very little time. Excess capacity is a good thing, especially when it's cheap and available to everyone. Just for

To protect US (non-military) systems from foreign intelligence agencies and hackers? Probably not. I can't imagine many security researchers would want to work for the DHS unless the pay was enormous.

I'd argue that the intention for that is to protect against using military equipment against civilians. (which is already being done in some cases, MRAPs, automatic weapons, body armor, SAMs) Using the military to protect from foreign

I would like to have one, or at least a 3-D desktop display. One without 50 Amazon apps trying to constantly sell me things would be preferred. Aren't modern smartphones far more powerful than a Cray 2?

Is it required that you stop for emergency vehicles? I have always been under the impression that moving out of the way was sufficient. Cops would have no reason to pull over autonomous vehicles unless they were stolen or unsafely damaged.

Well, without physical access to the vehicle it seems unlikely that malware could allow unlimited control of a vehicle. Ensuring firmware is genuine and that certain rules are stored on a read-only part of the memory would be helpful, such

The police being able to turn off vehicles should be heavily restricted and logged to help prevent abuse. Maybe even require them to contact the manufacturer to get this done. OnStar can do it currently can't they?

Autonomous vehicles offer far more benefits than they have drawbacks. This article is mainly focused on the situation where the criminals will have both hands free. It ignores the fact that the vehicles would just stop if anything was block
