Consider your normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill automobile. My understanding is that you usually don't need to actually be touching the wheel in order to drive it - you can drive it through AR by subscribing to the car's node (I remember some book talking about a sort of Chinese fire drill that rich corp kids play where they switch drivers at high velocities) or, if you're in Seattle, you can turn over control to GridGuide. But on your standard, no-frills automobile, can you remote-control it through AR? Does this mean that every car on the road can be hacked?
