  They’re running red team hacking scenarios, an extremely standard, common, and good practice in the cybersecurity industry. Any device, especially one connected to the internet, is at risk of being hacked - it would be naive to assume otherwise, so they’re hiring professionals to penetrate their security before someone else does. This is actually a sign they’re taking security seriously.

  Also, from the article: “they do not remotely drive the vehicles”.

      Do you actually have any evidence Waymo staff can remotely drive their vehicles? Or are you just tilting at windmills? I don’t really appreciate the insinuation that I am some rube by someone evidently unaware of basic cybersecurity concepts.

        Right here. It’s the only place they’ve ever admitted its possible.

        In very limited circumstances such as to facilitate movement of the AV out of a freeway lane onto an adjacent shoulder, if possible, our Event Response agents are able to remotely move the Waymo AV under strict parameters, including at a very low speed over a very short distance.?

        I have expressed my belief, or my doubt, however you want to look at it.

        I can assure you that is not the case. I work in IT, all my life, much longer than you, and I know all of it’s basic concepts.

  If it’s connected to internet it can be hacked.

    Correct, so far.

    Only a few years ago it was the usual thing with cars (except Teslas) that their entertainment system was connected to the internet, but everything related to driving was not. Such a thing as hacking and remote driving was fundamentally impossible.

    Today, even in the European cars is a whole lot more internet inside. But real remote driving is still not a standard possibility.
