Here's a longish article about how an investigative reporter, who died in a car accident last year, was the target of an FBI investigation:
Not surprisingly, some commenters don't think the accident was really accidental.
Now, the point of my post is not to make that allegation. But I'd like to make a related point.
In the not-to-distant future, autonomous cars may replace drivers. If you combine that fact with NSA backdoors, I assume that if the gov't wanted to, it could gain remote access to a self-driving car and stage a fatal "accident." It wouldn't even need to hack into the system.
Thus far, this is the stuff of conspiratorial SF movies. But, increasingly, the gov't has the technological means to become a very efficient police state.
