content: Will self driving cars signal the doom of Jailbreakers? Jailbreaking has always been skirting the law, being in a grey area legally speaking for several years now varying from country to country. However will this change with the emergence of the autonomous car industry or will jailbreaking actually put the breaks(heh) on the autonomous car industry?  Companies have never been able to stop jailbreaking from happening, Sony, Microsoft and even Apple have had little luck in preventing jailbreakers from accessing their devices and with potentially millions of dollars in revenue on the line its not like they haven't tried to protect their devices. So why would Google fair any better? I wouldn't be surprised to see jailbreaks for Google cars that would allow them to disregard speed limits or to increase acceleration from a standstill even if this meant a increase in the chance of a potentially fatal crash. Before now most governments have been fairly slack with the regulation of jail breakers as for the most part there has been very little in the way of ramifications from jailbreaking a phone, however messing with the self driving cars may be putting lives at risk which in turn could force governments to start cracking down on the jailbreaking communities.    Does anyone have any opinions on this, will we never have open access to our phones because harsh anti-jailbreaking laws or will we see nerdy underground drifting circuits comprised solely of autonomous cars?
