If you're worried about surveillance now, wait till every car on the road is a backdoor into your life, every conversation, you're mood, everything will be up for grabs, being constantly transmitted back to base.

Next up, is the surveillance of the public, imagine all those cameras and microphones driving around, goodbye privacy for good.

The best bit is it's being sold to us under the banner of safety. I don't like road deaths either, but mas-scale surveillance is just the same problem.

I share your sentiments exactly, welcome to 1984.

This technology will eventually be used by those in power to easily kidnap or kill targets via remote commands. Fake news will dismiss the accidents as malfunction.

Driving as a whole is safe now because everyone knows the stakes. If you screw up, you die. Computers don't care if you die, nor if they themselves are destroyed.

I don't look forward to a world where one Bluetooth RCE worm can kill tens of millions of people in 24 hours.
