re: #227 Targetpractice

You want a scary scenario? A hack on a foreign government’s payroll being paid to release a virus that would shut down every car with an active internet connection. Right now it’s not a scary scenario, but 10-20 years from now? You will probably bring an entire country to a halt.

I still haven’t figured out how a driverless car would work around here. On services such as Google Maps or Mapquest, most of our county roads are not shown. I have a state gazetteer for driving out in unfamiliar areas here. (My village’s streets are on such services, so I presume you could get to my house.)

If roads are not shown on Internet mapping services, I presume they don’t appear on devices in your car to show you a route to your destination.

I presume the question of driverless cars being a big thing replacing regular cars won’t have a significant impact for the rest of my life. (Perhaps we could put chain tracks in roads, similar to some trolleys or car washes, then cars could use those. Lower tech, harder to hack.)
