One asshole with a radio jammer targeting WiFi bands will cause an accident. This could be exploitable by nation state actors in specific scenarios if this gained popularity. Bad bad idea and should be discouraged. Towing should be physical-driven with interconnecting hardware.
Yeah, it’s not common now, because all the damage it causes is someone going “Huh, the wifi is not working, I’ll switch to data”.
If it starts to cause actual physical damage and shutdown of highways, it’ll be a lot more common.
Any dipshit can buy a professional WIFI jammer for $2-300 online or look up build instructions for even cheaper. Plus, as the Ukraine invasion showed us, these thing can be delivered with drones remotely.
You’re clearly not very knowledgeable about cybersecurity.
What about wifi jammers?

This is the kind of thinking that gets people hurt or killed.

I think in this situation, it’s best to wait and see. There are always articles about new things that never come to fruition.

It’s not that common NOW. It’s seems you either didn’t read my comment or didn’t understand it.
And how are you going to catch those people?
Are you going to build towers to detect jamming alongside all roads and freeways in the US? That’ll be somewhat expensive.
I understand technology and have common sense.

They’re gonna need to cheap and common if you want to cover 4.2 million miles of roads in the US.
There are an estimated 19 million felons in the US, and nearly 80 million who have a criminal record.
Not my definition of “very few people”.
It would be great if you understood tech and had common sense, yes.
Alas…
