I'm not afraid of being killed because someone hates me, I'm afraid of being killed because a 12 year old with a laptop may not have a fully developed moral sense of right and wrong.
I'm not afraid of being killed either. I'm mostly worried about politicians and powers that be killing others to stay in power. It's much easier to keep your hands clean as a government hacker than as a government hit-man.
Even if the hardware is secure against a script kiddie hacker, it'll never be secure against a government backdoor.
Imagine the power that someone like Nixon would have as president today. It's scary.
I fully expect a new genre of prank videos to emerge. Self-driving cars with cameras make for perfect targets. Innocent people will be involuntary passengers for a Grand Theft Auto style rampage that is livestreamed for the world to see.
Really? Do you imagine the only thing stopping people from trying to kill random strangers is the fact they currently have to get up out of bed to do it? Because it can't be the fear of getting caught, since the perpetrators of any vehicular malware that kills people will be caught...
Exactly, so according to the people worried about killer malware, the only thing stopping our population of latent murdering sociopaths is the fact that it's currently too much physical effort to go and sabotage some sandom vehicle? As I said, this seems unlikely to me...
