not sure about this one. Viruses dont need a network or internet connection to spread. They used to spread just fine via floppy disks.

EDIT: Obviously the fact that the cpu cant handle virus scan + pedestrian detection at the same time is shockingly bad. ... But a self driving car with a virus that could cause it to do potentially anything is even worse.

Why not just run the scans when the car is not in motion, or when charging?
