Do you think that will just magically happen on its own? The party that may win the next election already supports the bill. They claim they would update it with a few inconsequential changes, to make it look like they're "fixing

Intel will likely respond with the minimum amount of changes that combined with their brand inertia will result in maximum revenue for them. That, at first, will likely seem like the "rational" way to balance this "new compet

But people still blindly trust carmakers to make reliable and difficult to hack fully software-based and with always-on internet access self-driving vehicles. They can't even secure the thing that directly unlocks your car and enables
