Message: [QUOTE="Ealirendur, post: 11296609, member: 177673"] Such scenarios are likely anyway, with or without self-driving vehicles, until secure design becomes the norm - that is, when the cost risks attached become too great not to properly isolate the car control systems - they already aren't, in many current vehicles. We could even see a new type of ransomware :crazy: It's likely that manufacturers of self-driving cars will consider themselves exposed to far more bad publicity risks, and may actually have better design practices as a result. They will be largely confined to well-resourced and technically adept companies to begin with, in any case. I guess we'll find out - unfortunately, security is almost always considered secondary to functionality and delivery date, but I'm afraid the horse has already partly bolted as far as hackable car control systems are concerned.
