Annoying title for the article. The point is that tesla cars are easy to break into, not that you need a raspberry pi to do so. But having a "raspberry pi" in the title gives you probably more views :|
- flyinghamster 6y agoAdding the "Raspberry Pi" clickbait also sounds like a smear attempt to me. We already have enough of the "let's restrict general purpose computing because bad people" narrative.
- mavhc 6y agoIsn't the point that Tesla cars aren't easy to break into, you have to buy a ECU and use bluetooth, and it was fixed, whereas most cars are subject to a simple radio signal jam and replay, and are never fixed. Wonder why it only applies to a Model X though
- newacct583 6y agoYou need a salvaged controller from another Tesla, I'm not sure if that's "easy". It's also been patched already, per the article. And in any case, the exploit here was that the door was opened, something that locksmiths have traditionally been offering as a paid service for decades with no computer hardware at all. Really, the vulnerability angle isn't so interesting here at all. But it's a cool hack.
