It is pure insanity that some apparently think vehicles with wireless connectivity and automated controls could even possibly be safe enough for use on public streets, when we've just had huge CPU/firmware bugs enabling total takeovers… some with no fixes available yet/ever.
Many (most?) cars are now drive-by-wire (no mechanical linkage between accelerator pedal and throttle) and even if not they probably have the cruise control (second throttle cable) wired into interconnected systems in an unsafe way.

All it takes is one flaw found by one person in one system that didn't need to be publicly accessible during all the lifetime of one vehicle model. Considering those factors, the probability of disastrous results is likely staggeringly high.
