What do you expect to go wrong?

It should be silo’d accordingly.

Maybe we should rather consider what could go right and be less pessimistic.

My worry here is that it opens up the robot system, knowing our government's great record with software security, I am just waiting for someone to mess with the robots.

If it’s a standardised and secured platform it really shouldn’t be an issue and it seems to be that.

The data should be segregated and unless someone can fake it to look like there are 50 jags instead of 5 not much else to do.

It can only be better than the current unsynced or untriggered **** show.

Or make it so that the speed given is wrong, be it too fast so people head-on collision around bad corners, or too slow causing jams, etc.
Imagine how great this would be for hijackers if exploitable. Make one person fast, rest slow, so you have a window with no one there.
