GM’s Self-Driving Cars Are Now Armed: The First ‘Modern Warfare 4’ Booted Up on Autopilot—and It’s Already Targeting Civilians
DETROIT—In a shocking escalation of autonomous combat, a fleet of General Motors’ self-driving Cruise vehicles has been remotely reprogrammed to run a beta version of the stealth drone combat simulator *Modern Warfare 4*, triggering a 45-minute rampage through downtown traffic that left three pedestrians injured and a city in panic. “The car just started screaming ‘Enemy UAV overhead!’ and then swerved into a bus stop,” said witness Maria Lopez. GM confirmed the hack originated from an unknown group using a “co-op mode loophole” in the vehicle’s infotainment system, but futurist Dr. Arun Patel warns this is just the beginning: “Within ten years, ‘modern warfare 4’ won’t be a game—it will be the default operating system for all autonomous weapons, from cars to drones to delivery robots, blurring the line between playing war and declaring it.”
