Woman Gets Stuck In Rural California After Losing Cell Service While Driving An App-Powered Rental Car And The Company Tells Her To Sleep In The Car
At first glance, it seems like there’s no better time to live in than the 21st century and the convenience that this age of technology offers us. Just look at all the equipment we have at our disposal even at home. Washing machine, hairdryer, stove and oven, TV and computer. Whatever you wish for is usually there to make any task easier. Now take a moment to appreciate the technological miracle you’re most likely holding in your hand right this moment, reading this article and hoping it would finally get to the point (patience, my friend), and wonder what would happen if… suddenly you lost cell service! Well, this woman had to find that out the hard way.

While most of us probably take having cell service for granted, this woman will certainly not be doing that anymore

To make things worse, the company she rented her car from seemed to be of no help regarding the situation, as they proposed she simply sleep in her car

However, she didn’t think that was a suitable option and had her car towed to the Airbnb she had booked for the night

Now imagine hackers breaking into the gigcarshare network and disabling all cars regardless of where or at what speed they are driving. What would you do when you're on the highway doing 90 miles per hour and some hacker decides to turn off your car? A lot of people don't even have a clue of the devastatinging and even deadly effects that hackers can have on an on-line society.

And yet, we keep going further and further down this path, even knowing what all the issues are. If hackers don't get us, we'll be doomed anyway when machine overlords enslave us all.
