In "Mr. Robot" they show how you can literally just call Onstar, pretend to be a cop, read off a plate number, and get them to cut off the car.
This is a real thing that exists.
I also read a crazy article that you don't even need to program these vehicles to crash with cyber warfare: a hacker can just tweak pattern recognition a little bit. Red means go and green means stop.
Cole, I believe you are not going too far in bringing these points up. These are real-life concerns that are worth mentioning. I aim to write a follow-up article in the short future about such truisms. Indeed, these are trying times moving forward in the Information Highway. For now, drive safe, my friend!
Thank you Mackenzie. This is a very interesting part of the conversation about "smart" vehicles, and I do have some things to say on the matter. Perhaps a follow-up article might be in order?

You didn't mention my first thought about smart vehicles- cyber warfare- programming smart vehicles to crash.
