Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Bahamas.
gollark: It would be especially great if, like phones now, your car just didn't get security patches after 5 months, and gained an ever-growing pile of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.
gollark: They should probably just not have network access, except for a wired connection to upload maps and such. Unfortunately, someone will definitely do something stupid like... have a 4G connection in it for interweb browsing, make the entire thing run some accursed Android derivative and put the self-driving code on there too, and expose that to the user, and make it wildly insecure.
gollark: I'm sure someone will manage to entirely mess up the security, yes.
gollark: (Just kidding! There's no way car OSes will be (are, probably) non-locked-down enough to do that!)
gollark: It's only a patent so far. But they had *better* not make it necessary to install adblockers on your car or something.
