Driverless cars a terrorist delight

Driverless cars a terrorist delight:
"Unless you have been on a desert island or a mountaintop with no news, you’ve no doubt heard about all the hacking.
Banks get hacked.
The Cloud gets hacked for nude photos of celebs.
The Department of Defense,
Army Command Center and White House have all been hacked.
Drones get hacked.
The F-35 Joint Strike fighter–the most expensive military plane in history–had its plans stolen from Lockheed-Martin by hackers (China?) –before the plane ever flew!
What’s next?
Driverless cars!
Driverless cars are a terrorist delight.

Major automakers all seem to be developing their own versions of driverless cars.
There’s no doubt the technology exists.
The latest Mercedes S-Class includes a lot of it.
The real issue is that the outcome could be that driverless cars are a terrorist delight!  
Imagine a driverless car, operated by hackers and filled with explosives, which could be driven or parked anywhere, and then detonated. 
No one would think a regular looking car was unusual—until it exploded! 
The new hacker gang–the Syrian Electronic Army–has already declared its intentions, and gained global credibility.
Who might be part of this SEA?
ISIS, perhaps?
Who know, or better yet, who should know?"
