(Natural News) There has been a lot of hype surrounding self-driving cars and their potential to change the way humans use roads for a very long time. However, with all of the hope that they can change things for the better, there are also some reasons to fear for your safety while you’re in them.

This is the point that Zach Aysan, a Canadian data scientist and cyber security expert, wants to drive home in a long-form piece titled, “Self-Crashing Cars.” To him, while the prospect of self-driving cars can be the source of inspiration and a sign of great things to come, it’s important to be mindful of certain negative consequences that could befall society as a whole as the technology behind them finally hits the mainstream.

The danger would be less to the occupants of the car - assuming it passed safety testing - than to pedestrians and others in the vicinity of such a car.
