In class we watched a video called Did You Know 2016 that had a bunch of random facts and also what I consider predictions for the future. One of the facts that caught the attention of our class was the one about how in the year 2020 there will be more than 10 million self driving cars on the road. That is the year I graduate. To think that it might be 'the norm' to have a self driving car is a little weird and scary at the same time. Weird because I only know of one company that makes self driving cars and ive only seen one my whole life plus they are really expensive so I don't know how they are going to make the cars cheaper. Scary because if it is a self driving car then it has a computer system and gps system that is linked up with some major big data base somewhere. All of these things can be hacked into. If a terror group finds a way to hack into that system and they get all of our cars to crash into each other or lead us to one big mass bomb massacre then we would be screwed. Unless of course they can come up with a manual override that can ignore the hack then that would be awesome.
