This reminds me strongly of Daniel Suarez' book Daemon, https://amzn.com/0451228731

Yeah. That's a great read too.

A good read, IMHO.

Daemon by Daniel Suarez is about connected nodes (including automated cars) being taken over by a rogue program.

I loved this book. The destruction a few thousand remotely controlled cars could wreck is terrifying.

Daniel Suarez wrote it already. Check out Daemon https://amzn.com/0451228731 .

Yes, though if I understood things correctly that one had the option to add capabilities using fmri vetted coders.

Seconded! And also the sequel, Freedom. The basic premise of the story seems entirely plausible in the near future to me.

For a moment you got me excited thinking that such a thing actually exists, givens today's technology wouldn't be actually rocket science, until I realized its a book :)

fun reads.

Closer to Daniel Suarez, Daemon & Freedom. http://www.amazon.com/DAEMON-Daniel-Suarez/dp/0451228731

This fiction starts the autonomous corporation from a vide game. The second book shows society's evolution to cope with the new corporation.

Daemon and Freedom™ are excellent books – a frightening but plausible view into the not-so-distant future.

@CharlesMeeriam2 You beat me to it, I came here to post just this!!!

This article reads as though it were a page straight out of Suarez's Daemon series.

1) http://www.amazon.com/DAEMON-Daniel-Suarez/dp/0451228731 2) Industrial augmented reality is a real thing that is really happening 3) Data-driven economics

It's my dream that some day we can know enough about how energy and goods move throughout society that everybody is more-or-less able to do what they want with their lives, and we use information technology to simply arrange them in groups such that civilization results.

There was a similar idea in the book, Daemon. Seems more feasible now with CV/ubiquitous sensors.

For that topic I suggest the book "Daemon" [1] written by Daniel Suarez!

The Daemon is working in the background, preparing for its activation.
