Self-Driving Car Bomb: You say convenience. I say cruise missile on wheels.
what's to keep some bad guy from loading one up with explosives and then programming it to drive to, and park in front of, some juicy target? And then the bad guy detonates the bomb by remote control (i.e. with a cell phone). Or builds in a GPS that detonates the bomb when it's within a small distance of the target. - - Steven Den Beste

Silliness.
The means for doing such a thing have been in place all along.
Spending $40k for a *self driving* car will not facilitate it.
The author should get an honest job.

To me the self driving car is a wonderful idea. Law abiding citizens may be able to go to a pub and have a "few" with their mates and not worry about the full weight of the gestapo ruining their lives

I'll take my chances with the remote possibility of a terrorist hit over the much higher chance that some idiot with a cell phone in their hand will text me into the next life.
