This paper talks about the foreseeable emergence of autonomous vehicles. The author argues that over time, self-driving modes could handle more situations with less human intervention and declining costs might allow the technology to spread from luxury cars to the mainstream. He further explores the potential security risks and privacy concerns linked to the widespread use of autonomous driving systems.
