The autonomous-vehicle ticketing rule is incomplete, even though 70% of vehicle cyber-attacks could be stopped with layered encryption. In my view, the law leaves critical gaps in how cars protect their data and how police can enforce violations. Did you know that 70% of vehicle cyber-attacks could be stopped with

Swapping battery stations, not autonomous driving, keep large fleets moving during outages. When a 10-minute grid loss stalls a 10,000-vehicle fleet, 63% run out of charge, while pre-planned swapping maintains 96% of trips. Outage Scenario and the Case for Swapping In a recent pilot I observed in the Bay
