Aside from the obvious "What about (security) flaws in software of (semi-autonomous) cars", I'm especially thinking about scenarios where some sort of sensor jammer is used to blind/misguide the vehicle (laser pointers blinding pilots are already a thing, so clearly there's people willing to try it out). I have the feeling we'll hear about that in the future.



You can already do that with human drivers today. Shining super bright lights down a road before a sharp turn can surely kill someone.

You can do the same thing to human drivers too.
