Keep in mind too that it will take many years, likely decades, for self-driving cars to gradually be rolled-out on any massive scale, thus for a long time to come there will be a mixture of human-driven cars and self-driving cars. This suggests that human-driven cars will still be utilized, and they can continue to be part of those despicable drive-by shootings.

Focus next exclusively on self-driving cars.

Could a dastardly person use a self-driving car to commit a drive-by shooting?

Sure, why not.

Consider the following scenario.

A person with a concealed gun in their jacket pocket gets into a self-driving car and calmly instructs the AI to drive to a particular destination, making use of the in-car Natural Language Processing (NLP) system capabilities, similar to using today’s Alexa or Siri.

It is anticipated that the AI driving system will allow passengers to also specify waypoints, such as visiting the grocery store on the way to seeing their relatives.

The evildoer with the gun could tell the AI to drive past a specific residence or street corner or wherever so desired, doing this would not raise any undue suspicion for the AI system and would simply be an expected part of any typical driving journey.

Upon getting near to the destination, the shooter might ask the AI to slow down, and then, merely open the car window and take a shot at whatever target they have in mind.

After doing so, the shooter might request the AI to speed-up and head quickly to wherever their getaway location is.

Note that the shooter isn’t driving the car and therefore is solely in the role of being a passenger, meaning too that they perhaps are more able to skillfully aim their shot and not be distracted by the driving task. This aspect is an unfortunate “advantage” for those wishing to use a self-driving car as part of drive-by shooting activity.

Notice too that the shooter might have overtly planned to conduct the drive-by shooting, or they could be generally touting a firearm and have decided to randomly do the shooting, maybe opportunistically based on the perchance moment of seeing someone they wanted to take a shot at.

It is a sad fact that self-driving cars could be used in this appalling way.

When I mention that drive-by shootings could occur while using a self-driving, some are aghast and insist that we ought to not discuss this possibility else it will plant a seed in the minds of those that are bent on drive-by shootings.

Please know that a head-in-the-sand approach is not wise and will simply mean that once people figure out that they can use a self-driving car for such a purpose, everyone will be caught by surprise and be exceedingly flatfooted as to what to do.

Instead, a more astute approach involves trying to develop and deploy self-driving cars in a manner that will seek to reduce or mitigate the chances of someone undertaking a drive-by shooting while inside a self-driving car.

Let’s consider how this can be undertaken.

In the natural course of devising self-driving
