From Peter Borrows
Bryant Walker Smith raises a number of legal issues surrounding driverless cars (22/29 December 2012, p 34). But what about the elephant in the room: hacking? Doubtless we will be told that security will be tight, but it often isn’t for new technology, such as cellphones.
Why would anyone want to hack a driverless car? Perhaps for “fun”. Or maybe to kidnap a politician, or their child on the way to school. Worried? You should be.
