> So: a nasty bug in a 'regular' car means the manufacturer must consider a recall of all affected cars, where Tesla will simply push an update to all cars in the field. This also means that Tesla can run the update before the vuln is disclosed. Maybe, but that sounds optimistic. What if the hack turns that off? What if the hack bricks a piece of hardware? Should remote updates be trusted if the car's been infected with malware? > Musk said he regards Tesla as a software company, their software just so happens to have a car attached to it. I highly doubt other car manufacturers see it that way, they probably see the software development as an expense. Software companies write most of the software bugs, so that doesn't make me feel any better...
