So is basically everything.

You can now shut down the electricity grid, medical equipment, water systems, people's home security cameras, fighter jets etc. if there's a vulnerability.

If you can hack a car today, you can already pin the throttle or slam on the brakes if it's equipped with cruise control, or yank the wheel for anything with lane assist.

I don't think self driving increases the exposure much, really.
