so... how has the group been, Kirina still causing you guys problems?

@souleaterfan320

Nope.

Foreign agents, mass shooters with coding knowledge, terrorists, assassins... So on and so forth.

@DarkwolfX37

Already expressed concern for this one.
They don't exist. And even if they did, it takes a world of extra knowledge to hack into them—coding is as far from hacking as boating is to swimming. And I already mentioned that rogue hackers would have a tough time with the systems if they even wanted to get in.
Terrorists are inbred inbeciles, so I think we're okay. Why hack a car when you can shoot a gun?
Assassins have other ways of killing people unless they work for a government entity, which was already mentioned. And it doesn't help that the govt. can already remotely shut down vehicles—I doubt that it'll be any more of an issue than it currently is, especially given how conspicuous it would be.

Lol.

@DarkwolfX37

I don't deny that there are issues to be overcome, but I do think that wrecks and traffic can be eliminate when done correctly. And for the most part, hackers don't want to kill people. Ruin the networks of corporations, sure, but there are just about none who would kill just some guy who happened to be unlucky. Even the black hats aren't that evil.

There'll still be wrecks, and that would require a super AI and would still be really prone to hackers. There are already people who can shut down cars while they're on the freeway, auto cars would just be worse.

@DarkwolfX37

There won't be if the system is actually done in a way that allows them to communicate. Unfortunately, that allows for centralization, which I hate. Super AI, not all that much, but an advanced AI yes. All of which is doable within less than ten years, especially considering current driving algorithms. Speaking as a hacker, that's avoidable if they're coded wth security in mind. Security is difficult but not impossible. Yes, remote assassinations from three letter agencies and other entities concerns me—however, I dislike traffic more.

Saya: ... well then. I'll take care of her if she shows up again.

@souleaterfan320

If you say so.

@Etcetera
less traffic
And they are already a thing, but i mean a city wide network of self driving cars.

@Araby264

I'm talking about the world being 100% self-driving. I think it'll eliminate traffic because there will be no wrecks, everyone can move at the same speed and stop at the same time, and servers can precalculate routes to take. No variability.

@Etcetera
Well it was talking about how malignant cells are some of the primary causes of cancer and As he was describing it, I realized that it was similar to traffic in norfolk, then I put more research into it and found that it's more like a blood clot than cancer, but the inspiration was still there. So then I figured what if we transported people like blood transports nutrients.
Imagine you call a cab, after it shows up to pick you up you get in and after getting into a highway or freeway you hook up to another cab and are driving while attached to each other. When it is time for you cabs to go separate ways, they detach and go to their pacified locations. Or imagine getting on a bus that drives OVER traffic.
I also believe in automating cars, but that's way in the future...
Or is it. (dun,DUN,DUN)

@Araby264

Self-driving cars has to become a thing. There'll be no traffic when all vehicles drive themselves.

So, she might catch back up with us.
