Hey /g/ can we have a sincere non-meme filled discussion on the potential dangers of self-driving cars?
I mean don't get me wrong, self driving cars are cool and it'd be great to just input a destination - take a nap - and wake up an hour later at wherever the fuck I want.
But giving another entity the ability to push out an OTA update that gives them the ability to shut off the car/Accelerate out of control/Fly off the road seems to make me skeptical about adapting to it.
>Don't be a conspiracy nut-tard that would never happen
I mean right now companies track your GPS location/Audio record/Sometimes video record with your electronic devices like Phones/laptops and they have the ability to remotely brick a device whenever they see fit. There's nothing physically in the way from them doing the same thing in cars.

You must be brand new here, fresh off the boat redditor. Absolutely nothing sincere and non-meme filled gets talked about on 4chan, let alone /g/.

Well I'm not getting one that's for sure.

there will be no problems

Trash bag test:

The transition period where self-driving car have to interact with ordinary dumbass drivers is going to be the most difficult.

We are sorta already in that period

I like driving.

Self-driving cars will have, for quite a long time, problems with driving in shit roads with bad signalization.

Guess what.
They won't allow OTA updates for that reason.
Everything driving safety related won't be controllable by outside technology.
It's as easy as that.

I see them as fleet vehicles for metros and little else. People will not give up their freedom unless these are more convenient.
The self driving car is nothing more than a self driving taxi.

Do you think they won't allow the ability to have an OTA update or some sort of backdoor?
You don't think that police won't petition for the ability to brick a car if a 'suspect' is inside one?

Yes.

They can do that all they want, doesn't mean it will happen.

I honestly want to believe that this is the case but we already have phones being tracked and bricked, I just don't trust that cars will remain purist for long

Your phone isn't directly related to your safety. Shutting down a moving vehicle is not safe and so it will never be allowed.
