Future war is unlikely to be fought with traditional weapons.
It is much more likely to be fought by hackers.
Unfortunately (or not), the US has put all of their infrastructure online, which puts them at an extreme disadvantage in this kind of conflict.
We’re also in the process of putting all of our cars online.
We can’t now say that China hasn’t warned us about how stupid this is.

Researchers from Keen Labs in China, one of the most widely respected cybersecurity research groups in the world, have successfully hacked a Tesla Model S autopilot system and forced the car to drive into an oncoming lane.
The wiley white hat hackers developed different forms of attack to confuse and disrupt the Tesla autopilot lane recognition system.
In the first method, Keen researchers added a large number of patches to the dividing line on the road itself to blur it. While it did fool the autopilot, the researchers deemed it too conspicuous to be of any practical, if malicious, use in the real world.
However, a more subtle approach proved far more effective: using just three strategically placed stickers, the researchers were able to create a “fake lane.”
For instance, when the stickers were placed at an intersection, hackers could fool the Tesla into thinking the lane continued into what was actually the oncoming lane.
“Our experiments proved that this architecture has security risks and reverse-lane recognition is one of the necessary functions for autonomous driving in non-closed roads,” the Keen Labs wrote in a paper.
A Tesla spokesperson told RT.com that the research is “not a realistic concern,” however, as the driver can easily override the autopilot system to avoid crashing into oncoming traffic as a result of some maliciously-placed stickers.
“Although this report isn’t eligible for an award through our bug bounty program, we know it took an extraordinary amount of time, effort, and skill, and we look forward to reviewing future reports from this group.”
If they can hack the autopilot, they can hack the manual override function.
Furthermore, a lot of these cars coming in the next few years are not even going to have drivers at all.
Our whole infrastructure is going to be on the internet. Hackers will be able to make dams burst, power plants explode and jets fall out of the sky.
