The FBI made the admission in an unclassified, yet restricted report obtained by The Guardian newspaper, which featured insights into how the widespread use of driverless cars in the future would potentially affect the way criminals operate.
The report states, for example, that driverless cars will “have a high impact on transforming what both law enforcement and its adversaries can operationally do with a car.”
This would make it easier for criminals to carry out tasks, such as shoot guns, that could potentially put FBI agents in additional danger during car chases, as they won’t need to keep their hands on the wheel or their eyes on the road.
