Big, big problem for auto makers that must be decided before next yrs models.

A decision needs to be made on who owns the computer software in driverless cars???

Also how can it be locked down before an vehicle owner modifies the code in a driverless cars that could make it become an attack vehicle???

IMO, this issue of driveless cars will be the most important issue candidates will have to weigh in on before getting the nomination.

I am glad to see CA has a bill that is a first step in trying to set the new environment on road usage and data control.

1. The "most important" issue?

It's an issue. But it's far from the most important one.

2. It's the issue that hits closest to anyone who drives to work or to the supermaret.

This is an issue people understand and effects them directly. This is about ownership and as American as apple pie.

3. But will the software refuse to drive people for religious reasons?

8. Current automobiles are already capable of being used ...

... as "attack vehicles", so there doesn't need to be any change on that account.
