Welcome to the brave new world of electric autonomous vehicles! It’s an exciting time to be alive, with cars that drive themselves and companies that can control them remotely. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, let’s start with the obvious: the risk of getting hacked. Sure, your car may be able to drive itself, but can it protect itself from cyberattacks?

What if a rogue hacker takes control of your car and sends it careening off the road? Or worse, what if they program it to go on a joyride without you?

But hey, let’s not dwell on the negative. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like a bunch of hacked EVs could cause chaos on the road or anything…right? Well they sure can😊.

Of course, the real danger here is the increased control that companies will have over us. Sure, they may be able to remotely control our cars, but what’s next? Will they start dictating our routes, our destinations, and our driving habits?

Will they force us to listen to their choice of music, or worse, their choice of podcasts?

All in all, it’s clear that there are some serious risks and challenges associated with EV auto driving cars. But hey, as long as we can laugh about it, everything will be just fine…right?

In conclusion, while electric autonomous vehicles may seem like a great idea on paper, there are plenty of risks and challenges that need to be addressed before we can truly embrace them.

From the risk of getting hacked to the increased control that companies will have over us, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical. But hey, at least we’ll have some funny stories to tell when our cars inevitably go haywire!
