If you're...Not sure what your point is, Denkof. If you're worried about the remote control feature being hacked, then yes, that could be a problem if the system is plugged into the Internet. However, there is no reason for that. All communications outside of GPS could, and should, be internal, i.e., between the vehicle's guidance system and the driver's computer. And if a GPS signal can be hacked then that would be a problem for conventional vehicles as well.<br /><br />As for the hazards involved, Retros would be significantly less hazardous than fully autonomous vehicles. <br /><br />Of course if you ask me personally what I'd prefer, I'll stick with my 20 year old Geo Prizm, thank you.<br />I'm not trying to design my ideal car, I'm merely trying to save the automobile industry. :-)<br />DocGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359004200002936544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273743740308720232.post-85164690079615340012017-03-08T10:18:14.697-08:002017-03-08T10:18:14.697-08:00All very well and good, Doc.

But what happens if I'm driving along, sans windshield, and suddenly see on my computer screen a dirt track outside of Vladivostok or the Autobahn between Frankfort and the airport? (Of course, if I'm reading or napping, I might not even notice.) Next up: an app that tells you on what highways Retros are driving at that moment, so you can take other less hazardous routes.
