Yup, it's a mess.

What it's not is, a huge multi-car multi-injury accident. So I don't mind it much more than if all the traffic lights in the area were out.



But it's not great if now we've moved denial of service attacks into our real-world transportation infrastructure. It's not too different from truckers in Ottawa blocking all the streets and causing chaos. If this can happen by accident, it seems likely that a future version could result from being hacked.


Honestly, a bit of a road diet from the occasional "this intersection is closed due to fleet maintenance" is probably not the worst thing.
