What about wifi jammers?
One asshole with a radio jammer targeting WiFi bands will cause an accident. This could be exploitable by nation state actors in specific scenarios if this gained popularity. Bad bad idea and should be discouraged. Towing should be physical-driven with interconnecting hardware.
Meh, it'll just show to a stop and put up safety signals. I doubt anyone actually gets hurt if it's reliable. WiFi jamming isn't all that common.
Oh boy more traffic because some asshole outran his wifi trailer.
It's not going to sell unless it's reliable. Nobody is going to tolerate randomly losing connection. It'll have to be an incredibly rare occurrence.
This is the kind of thinking that gets people hurt or killed.

The vast majority of towing and driving is on whatever the population can afford and it's usually rackety old shit that certainly has killed people. This can reduce a fuck ton of emissions.
If this shit is unreliable nobody is going to put their cargo on it. If it's reliable and popular, shit is going to happen just like any idiot in a 30 year old Nissan doing 130.
I think in this situation, it's best to wait and see. There are always articles about new things that never come to fruition.
I agree on that one. The tech will come out, and if it's problematic it won't sell well.
Yeah, it's not common now, because all the damage it causes is someone going "Huh, the wifi is not working, I'll switch to data".
If it starts to cause actual physical damage and shutdown of highways, it'll be a lot more common.
Any dipshit can buy a professional WIFI jammer for $2-300 online or look up build instructions for even cheaper. Plus, as the Ukraine invasion showed us, these thing can be delivered with drones remotely.
You're clearly not very knowledgeable about cybersecurity.
Lololol it's not that common, and very few people are going to risk the federal felony plus fines in the states.
I'm curious, what's your background that you are so educated on security that you so handily dismiss opinions as uneducated?
It's not that common NOW. It's seems you either didn't read my comment or didn't understand it.
And how are you going to catch those people?
Are you going to build towers to detect jamming alongside all roads and freeways in the US? That'll be somewhat expensive.
I understand technology and have common sense.
Spectrum analyzers are cheap and common. In the US fines can be 5 years and 100k. Very few people are and will fuck around with felony and prison.
Understand tech and common sense. That might just be one lever above do your own research.
They're gonna need to cheap and common if you want to cover 4.2 million miles of roads in the US.
There are an estimated 19 million felons in the US, and nearly 80 million who have a criminal record.
Not my definition of "very few people".
It would be great if you understood tech and had common sense, yes.
Alas...
