I feel sure that's not a silly mistake they're likely to repeat with Google Glass and it's WiFi, Bluetooth (and hence mobile-phone) connections. Oh no, no, no, they wouldn't do that! Nor with Android. Self-driving cars offer numerous possibilities. Climb in. "Take me to my aunt Morticia's please" "Ah yes, she lives in the big dark house on the hill; make yourself comfortable, sir, and we'll be there shortly." You turn on the in-drive TV with both subliminal and blindingly obvious flashing adverts. The car drives off. Ten minutes later, the car announces "You have arrived at your destination, sir." and the doors open to reveal that you're outside the very shop where they sell those advertised products. The car helpfully tells you that "Your aunt Morticia has been looking for one of those!" A shop assistant helpfully puts a 13.5GHz Intel i9 Ultra-Gamer-Xpletive-XIII+ in the car and gives you the receipt already charged to your contactless credit card. OK, that's supposed to be funny. I think ....
