Moravy also argued that to stop anybody from taking control of vehicles, the company “actively participates in hacking events

Read this slowly:

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.

    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.

  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.
