Outside of controlling someone else's car, but knowing everything they do while also doing much more vague attacks like DDOS. They'll also know almost everything about you; SSN, where you work, what time you leave, where you stop for lunch, etc. Electrical and gas systems are generally not connected to a network. There's parts of the system that are accessible by the outside world, but the major functions are isolated from the internet. You have to be actually on prem to do this. Hacking into jets is almost impossible because of the same reason: no internet connection. I am not sure they can do this with autonomous vehicles. They'd almost certainly need a way to spread information about traffic patterns, behaviors, etc, etc.
Those are the types of irrational fears that I believe will make humans the biggest obstacle, along with those who drive for a living and will be replaced with autônomos vehicles.
