He sounds really immature and irresponsible. If you look at his code on GitHub, it's full of sloppy stuff, commented-out code, and worrisome little loose ends with comments like "should I check this value?"[1] Even his commit messages are full of sloppy stuff.[2][3] That's fine for hacking on game systems, emulators, or various consumer electronics (and he's clearly quite good at it, given his accomplishments), but would anyone really want to trust their life to code like this? How much testing has he actually done on this thing? By his own accounts, it didn't even work until less than a year ago.[4] The NHTSA is right to question him about safety if he's planning to put this on the market for anyone & everyone to use on public roads a matter of months from now. Choosing to shut down and go work in another country after receiving just one inquiry about safety is a sign that there could be serious problems. A car is not a toy. (Oh, and in case anyone responds with "well let's see your code!", please note that I'm not the one making asking people to trust their lives to my code, making wild claims about what I've built, nor issuing challenges to the likes of Tesla.[5]) [1] https://github.com/geohot/kvm-kext/blob/master/main.cpp#L642 https://github.com/geohot/kvm-kext/blob/master/main.cpp#L642 [2] https://github.com/geohot/kvm-kext/commit/082b7ca99cba4c3b9c0adcee0add11d47de9130d https://github.com/geohot/kvm-kext/commit/082b7ca99cba4c3b9c...
