That's worse than texting while driving!

I'll ride in one when they assure me it's hacker-proof. In other words, never.

I'm with you George, since there are reports of hacking in the Teslas.....

Yep, and a lot of effort to hack into them. If memory serves, Elon Musk threw down a gaunlet...
... begging hackers to hack into a Tesla. He offered a $1,000 incentive reward if the car could be successfully hacked. When you think about it, that was a stroke of pure genius. Instead of spending millions trying to test if Tesla was hack proof, encourage hackers to spend their time trying to hack the system. If they fail, it cost him nothing. If they were successful, then it only cost him a few bucks to find they still had a weakness and now they know what steps to take to plug the hacking hole. That's just brilliant!

A similar tactic is used in residential property management. Sometimes the best way to get rid of a flaky, troublesome tenant is to pay them to leave. Often saves time and money rather than suing them out.
But one has to get over the fact that this goes against the grain and consider it a business move, not to show that crime does pay.

With all of the texting going on today, we have a TON of driverless cars on the road right now!
