Oh, come now, it's not like any decent hacker can compromise an automated car in under 10 seconds.
Oh.
Wait.

Why are we testing on humans?
Now, hamsters
Heck, at this point I'd settle for some GMO-mutated sea bass
Seriously, why should automated cars be operating in places where kids on bikes and skateboards and pets exist?
Automated cars might make sense in secure retirement communities, where everyone is 55 and nobody minds if they die.
Now that's driving.
First time they deploy these in public, some small kids will get killed and it's game over for the auto companies. Parents with dead kids don't ever forget.
Ever.
Five such "unmanned aircraft systems" prevented California firefighters from dispatching helicopters with water buckets for up to 20 minutes over a wildfire that roared Friday onto a Los Angeles area freeway that leads to Las Vegas.
Helicopters couldn't drop water because five drones hovered over the blaze, creating hazards in smoky winds for a deadly midair disaster, officials said.
In response, legislation has been introduced that would allow first responders to disable drones in emergency situations. A second bill would allow jail time and fines for drone users that interfere with firefighting efforts.
Senate Bill 168, introduced by Gatto and Sen. Ted Gaines, R-El Dorado, would grant “immunity to any emergency responder who damages an unmanned aircraft in the course of firefighting, air ambulance, or search-and-rescue operations.”
Los Angeles County fire Inspector David Dantic declined to comment on the specific legislation, but said his agency’s aircraft cannot operate safely if a drone is in the same airspace.
Gatto and Gaines also teamed up on companion legislation: SB 167, which would increase fines and introduce the possibility of jail time for drone use that interferes with firefighting efforts.
I've given up on remote tech support for Windows myself for my relatives.
Hopefully my last Win 7 Professional will work for a while on my 8 core home PC. I'll install a dual boot Linux on a spare 2 TB drive just in case.
They lost me on this last Win 10 thing. I had hope Win 8 was just an Ooops rollout that they quietly kill, but if they're going to SaaS models, they aren't getting my cash.
Byte your tongue.
