Sorta OT: Why I Like Simple in my RVR

All cars need Internet and a MAC address. Said no one. Ever. Scary.

Road Drones

^
The general public have no sense of how dangerous with even the the most mundane aspects (ie, navigation, traffic data, stocks) tapped in, let alone what happens when all the physical controls (throttle, braking, steering, transmission, headlights, cameras, etc.) are tied into the Net via a vehicle's wifi.

If you're looking for the perfect "street drone" to use as a weapon.
You're already 100% there with that vehicle wifi crap.


**************

Similar principle of having ALL your banking connected to your smartphone via Apps...
What idiot thought that was a safe idea?
