How is deliberately disabling a vehicle on a highway the FBI's jurisdiction?
1 comments

How is it not given they could have disabled any vehicle with that vulnerability?

This basically suggests thousands of cars could be driven off the road and deliberately crashed right now. I'd say that's a threat that they need to deal with at the national level on an immediate basis.

Would you rather wait for a malicious actor like North Korea to get involved before the FBI makes a move?

What I'm trying to say is I'd rather the FBI gets involved and works with these researchers to develop an expedient fix for this problem than some beat cop in St. Louis to bust them and throw them in jail where they help nobody and the threat remains extremely grave.
