    What if a hacker programs cars to go on a killing spree?
    Jeeze not only do you have to worry about drones targeting you, you will have to worry about people's cars suddenly recognizing you and going after the kill. Everyone's car turns into a cop car.
    A savage barbaric tribal society where thugs parade the streets and illegally assault and murder innocent civilians, yeah that is the alternative to having police. Oh wait, that is the police

    That's already here.

    All you have to do is implant the "proximity chip" all new cars have.

    Well, you don't have to have it implanted. You can carry it in your pocket.

    But tell the writers of a few crime dramas to make a big deal about carjacking and the sheep will be begging for implants. Even if their car is twenty years old and only running on three cylinders.

    I think I have the only legitimate answer that authorizes a cop to take over a self-driving car: when the car is their personal property.

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    Nonsense.

    Officer safety is paramount.

    Within 50 years it will be illegal to own a driver controlled vehicle. All cars will be equipped with cameras and location trackers that communicate with a central database. Police and government officials will be able to summon your vehicle to the police station, or simply pull you over with a few taps of their keyboard.

    In 50 years it will be illegal to own a car.

    Press Release:

    People are often to busy, or just don't care enough about their vehicle to care for it in a manner to ensure optimal safety and reliability. While this was tolerable in the past, this is the year 2060, and our transportation network is fully integrated for optimal efficiency and safety.

    Example if the vehicle you are in encounters an unexpected tire deflation event, while in a transport train on the interstate, this will cause all the vehicles participating to have to slow down, or exit the optimized air flow cavity, and will cause a financial and time expensive for all the other vehicle occupants, also it will reduce the efficiency of road utilization, an expense for which you would be liable. Communal transport frees you of the worry, expensive, and liability vehicle ownership incurred upon the owner.

    Our entire fleet of vehicles are checked daily, full exterior scan, full decontamination of the interior, a level 1 20 minute power train test, all government approved and tested vehicle updates are applied, all fluids are tested using chemical analysis, so fluids are changed when they need to be and not before or after. All of this is done without any human involvement, and at trivial expense. Not to mention, all cars feed realtime data on terrain and road conditions to the central transport authority, so potholes are now a thing of the past!

    In 2060 New York City has a population of 15 million people, most cars before the communal transport initiative was enacted would sit sometimes for days with zero utilization. Obviously in a major city, space is a valuable resource, by banning personal car ownership, and taking on the full responsibility of maintaining the vehicles, parking or circling them while not in use, we have managed to save enough space to add 4 million more people to our beautiful city, in the same area, and retaining or enhancing the living environment for all our proud citizens.

    Fleeing criminals were a problem in the past, today, it would not be possible to "flee", hacked vehicles are immediately reported by all the communal cars, and unoccupied cars if it is deemed safe will attempt to slow or stop any such vehicle. As a result some areas of crime have drop over 95%, and the last car jacking was reported in 2050, by an elderly felon suffering from dementia.

    Overall, we are pretty proud of the progress we have made, in forging a path to a more connected, safer, efficient future.

    What's a Community without Communal Property after all.

    So kind of like the pussy cops in Demolition Man, except way way more violent and not brady-bunch versions of themselves?

    I never will have one. By that time I will be pushing a shopping cart full of random $#@! anyway.

    Technology does not have a political agenda.
    Imagine the cops take control of your car?

    Imagine if YOU take control of the COP'S car!
