Comment on Tesla Hackers Find ‘Unpatchable’ Jailbreak to Unlock Paid Features for Free

Softlooking features will be a thing, regardless how much we despite it. At the same time, it would terrify me knowing that vehicles around me ciuld run on homebrew software. It’s one thing if its in your home but on public roads, naaa keep that shit locked down.

I can see a future where the law enforcement are shifting from testing intoxication to running validating software checks.

Is this what Elon tells you, on the monthly meetings? 🤔

  It’s all about responsibility and that man ain’t touching that except if it will gain the brands an extra exposure.

A modified computer is already being checked for in CA emissions. No matter how good the car runs, if you have a non-approved or factory tune you can’t register the vehicle.

Homebrew isnt the issue, since it’s not like the stuff coming from Tesla or any actual car maker has to go through a third party approval process. They just throw software updates out to the wild. And while they may have some internal testing, there just isn’t the regulations to verify any of that.

I’ve found the whole concept of software assists in general to be the wild West in automotives.

  It depends where you live, here the certification unit only check the actual exhaust, there is no law here that prohibit me to use any software to adjust my CA emissions as long it’s with in limits during testing it’s OK.
  
  Agree to point where just calling a beta feature Autopilot is just reckless.
