I worry more about some hacker type deciding to ddos all the McDonalds by telling the cars that’s where they need to be.

Kind of surprised it hasn’t happened yet honestly.

I'm not particularly worried about the well-being of the McDonald's corporation. I'd be more worried, if anything, about some bad actor deciding they want every car on a major interstate to wreck all at once.

They could also be used to harm pedestrians

like an insurance company?

Yeah, “give us a million dollars or we’ll wreck every car on the highway”.

How about a million dollar cruse missile? Deal?
