Comment on U.S. to ban Chinese, Russian software and hardware used in autonomous vehicles

Good point! If vehicles are communicating like that, which I’ve always thought would be the ultimate for efficiency, you’d have to protect against poison pills. That would be even more difficult with disparate systems cooperating.
Reminds me of the car “chase” scene in I, Robot.

When a light turns green every car should start accelerating at the same time, it doesn’t happen with people driving. Traffic jams will plummet with cars communicating eventually. It’s far off but it would be nice.
