A sobering read for us all.

It's refreshing to read about the realities of this technology. Unfortunately, automakers and industry oversight committees will probably spend billions on security features, further complicating these computers, rather than face the reality that manual driving is less expensive and less dangerous than the implications of a hacker-terrorist with access to powerful computers and time on their hands.
