car2car communication might turn into a real nightmare. Apart from all the
non-working self-driving pipe dreams, just think of what happened when the
Internet was no longer just used by the elite, but brought their poorly
maintained Windows boxes on-line. I guess you have heared of the malware
WannaCry, which used a security hole that the NSA had already used in 2012, but
didn't tell Mirosoft, so they could keep exploiting it. Now imagine someone can
hack your car while it's self-driving, that's a whole new level of computers
crashing.
