Lord Protect Us
So the rolling zero-day Android vehicle is now going to be driving itself?
I don't doubt that the near future will see a dramatic increase in autonomous vehicles on public roadways, but the fact that Tesla is the only car-maker not to respond to the Senate survey on automotive electronic security should at least make us question whether the control systems in this vehicle are rated for life-critical functions. Piloting a one-ton lithium battery on crowded roadways filled with gasoline-powered human-directed vehicles is a decision that affects all of us, satisfying the ego of an over-capitalized techno-witch doctor is not a good enough reason to let this technology out into the wild without review.
Musk is terrified of the 'demon' we are summoning with AI, but he has no problem endangering others with his poorly engineered rockets and over-priced luxury gimmicks running yesterday's technology.
How long before some 14 year-old hacker 'summons' an entire Tesla dealership's inventory to drive itself off the nearest cliff like electronic lemmings, just for the lulz?
