 Folks be going crazy over self driving cars that are connected to a network.

It's only a matter of time before someone gets assassinated by a hacker taking control of an occupied car and wrecking it. 
 or just musk turns a competitors car off. Read the ToS, those are time shared computers. You do not own them. 
 Even crazier is when the people that don’t get internet connected cars, but a hacker still hacks into a different car that attempts to assassinate them. 
 Isn't that a plot from Ghost in the Shell 
 This has already happened.  
 Argued this with my Tesla-owning nephew a few weeks ago. He said it can't happen with a Tesla, I said it has already been proven as an attack vector. Of course he said I was a conspiracy theory believing fool. I thanked him for the compliment and then quit debating since he is wedded to his perspective as an Elon fanboy. 
 Seen it in like 5 movies already
