I think seeing more automakers doing remote updates is pretty scary actually, at least if they can't do it right. Which automaker had it so you could hack the infotainment system to stop a car?[1] Tesla at least has a very good separate systems for the console and deeper underyling controls. Tesla's were designed properly from the beginning, and perhaps that's just it, if you have to add something like autosteering on after the fact it can't be as secure? Perhaps other automakers will get better with time though... From a wired article, > Rogers likens [Tesla's system] to the way avionics and Wi-Fi systems are configured on commercial airliners. The Wi-Fi is able to get GPS location data about the plane from the avionics system, but a gateway implements tight controls over what data can pass between the two. In the same way, Rogers says, “we know [the Tesla gateway] stops the obvious stuff. But I haven’t tested it to see what happens if I hack the gateway. If we were able to hack the gateway, then we could control any part of the car just like the Jeep hackers.” [1] https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/ https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-hig...
