The stuxnet virus was passed to the iranian centrifuge facility through a USB drive. it was a secure facility with no internet connection.

A virus could be introduced into a self-driving vehicle during production or more likely, when the vehicle is brought in for a tune-up. When you bring your car into the shop nowadays, they hook it up to a computer that analyzes the car and interfaces with its processor.

As for incentive...what incentive is there for the current viruses that are on the internet? Unless Symantec is launching the viruses to sell more virus protection, i can't see any incentive.

And wouldn't there be incentive to other countries who would want to harm our economy?

The virus fear will be groundless until the one time that we have reason for legitimate fear.
