*Canada investigates after Tesla catches fire, forcing driver to "smash the window".*

I don't think the maker of autonomous car would intentionally design the capability to ignite so as to kill the passengers. Someone might insert malware to do that.

However, I expect that they will be designed with the capacity to forcibly take passengers to an externally-chosen destination under command. Don't trust an autonomous car in China or Russia! Whether you could trust one in the US, I am unable to forecast.
