One of the things that came up during this discussion was the possibility of the ability for the entire driverless vehicle system to be shut down by the government or other entity.
Reading an article in today's The Record,that might also happen with any newer vehicle.
According the the article,to help out people in Fla., Tesla temporarily increased the range of their vehicles.
Apparently,all Tesla's have longer range batteries,but they need to be unlocked.
Tesla did this remotely.
If they can increase their cars' range by pushing a button,could they also shut the vehicle down ?
I also wonder what could be done to vehicles that are wi-fi enabled.
The new Escape I just bought has the ability enable its computer software to be updated,automatically,via wi-fi.
Who knows what else could be done,no computer,no car.
Maybe,to quote Ozzie,I'm just Paranoid.
