I wonder though, how easy would it be for someone to hack a Tesla car, crash the car while it's on AutoPilot, and then have the logs say that it was the driver's fault, so it was "just an accident", and not an assassination?
I imagine the people at NSA/CIA are already testing for this. Self-driving cars are scary, especially when you consider that the vast majority of car makers who want to build self-driving cars still aren't taking security seriously, and even continue to send unsigned updates over HTTP. Whatever security Tesla has for its car is actually the exception, not the rule, but I doubt even Tesla has good enough security to protect its cars against state actors, especially when all of its cars can be updated/attacked remotely.
