is absolutely dystopian

Esp because they could already use, you know... a spike strip!

It feels kinda like targeted v dragnet surviilance debate. Targeted feels OK if you get a warrant from a judge, use the legal procedures. But dragnet makes for a dystopia. Similar here. I don't want a global ability for some centralized db to flip a bit and stop any body's car across the world. Or, worst case, hacked and stops EVERYBODYs car at once.

    Or, worst case, hacked and stops EVERYBODYs car at once.

    I've always envisioned this scenario a little more absurd. I always imagined a hacker hacking a city full of autonomous vehicles and commanding them all to drive to a single tiny cul-de-sac. Imagine the traffic jam when a million cars all try to drive to the same tiny suburban side street all at once.
