Throttle on my E-bike appears to be working intermittently. Compounded with Cybersecurity problems I have had over the past couple years raises concerns of potential for remote disables or possibly worse remote enables.
People that increase cybersecurity problems have potential to reduce trust in companies in a compounding way not always fully appreciated. Might just be a technical problem on the e-bicycle that needs to be fixed, might just be cybersecurity problems on my computer and limiting my deliveries. Might be something has potential to establish associations in less than ideal or sufficient ways. I am trying to be green, trying to add value, be lower impact. Driving a car might be safer (at least for me), though not driving a car might be theoretically safer (for others) with the cybersecurity problems. I am not sure I would want to stand around in crowds until problems are fixed to a more sufficient level. Country close to War, can’t guarantee cars won’t accelerate without consent?
All cop cars and dart buses to stopped until cybersecurity problems are fixed? Or potentially just a problem for me? If it was a problem for more people, Society would always say it out loud? System has ideal grounds to claim justice is being iffed in more significant ways? Best practices for others, not for authority? Roads potentially more dangerous than I would like for people I care about to be driving on, driving potentially greater problems for environment, parts of the World that are allowed to be turned up, yet part of society does not wish to be held to same level of accountability as others – stack burdens that do not wish to follow for self, for people one cares about while claim ideal Golden Rule added?
Parties Responsible for Cybersecurity Problems might not realize the significance, potential to turn up more protectionism, protectionism that can exponentially increase time costs. 5 passwords not good enough, require 6? Protectionism like dual factor authentication might limit Doctor’s time too – throughput delayed could equal throughput denied.
Say this might lead to paused ambulances, not say it might lead to ambulances driving through crowds. I know the full scope of the problem to assess whether the problem is more than just a problem for me? No. People not in control of their cars could be shot – stopping remote gas pedal on is important.
If I were in a car, truck, or SUV that I couldn’t control driving through a crowd I would want police to stop it in anyway possible (even if it did kill me). That said I would prefer to divest from that situation in advance. Up to and including lethal force is necessary at times, finding ways to stop potential problems before they happen could lead to gains and lives saved.
Society might make investments in Green Tech harder, not always for expected reasons.
Power to remotely disable a car might be good under a Just and Trustworthy Government. That said, all governments are subject to able to be controlled by corruption at a later date and is not always pondered as plausible.
