I'd argue those aren't quite equivalent. If I was the passenger in a Tesla taxi I might be able to plug something in to add tracking software or who knows what to the car without the driver knowing. As autopilot improves I might be able to tell the car to up and drive over to my house in the middle of the night. Not exactly the same as cutting brake lines.
- danpalmer 8y agoThe compute module is under the back seat in the Model 3 I believe. That's all of the major components, might be tricky but someone who doesn't care about damaging the seat may well be able to get in unnoticed while riding in a Tesla taxi.
- Joky 8y agoIt is behind the glovebox
- gibolt 8y agoIs access to it lockable? Would be useful for a taxi usecase
- billhathaway 8y agoIn the model 3, the only way to access the glovebox is to press the button on the console. I'm sure this would be disabled when in self-driving taxi mode.
- thebluehawk 8y agoIt's in the dash. You have to remove the glovebox and several pieces of the dash. For some reason I think the taxi driver would notice you disassembling his car.
- hathawsh 8y agoFWIW, the Tesla model 3 has an internal camera (probably more than one) that Tesla probably plans to use to observe the occupants when in self-driving taxi mode. I think the camera would deter most high tech vandals.
- sixstringtheory 8y agoJust remeber when you’re recording your dummy loop to play back while you pwn, make sure no flies land on the camera lens!
