It may seem paranoid, but it is sane to expect that everything that it is closed and consequently not auditable for security and privacy, and goes online on a network we have no control over, even though not a public one, will soon or later be used for spying.
- heavyset_go 4y agoAs long as someone can make a buck, or get a leg up on someone else, without consequence, it'll happen.
- rootusrootus 4y agoThis is true. And it does not exonerate Tesla in the slightest. There need to be consequences.

- idop 4y agoIt's not paranoid, it's simple observation. Anything that can be abused by someone, will be abused by someone. The question is whether the benefits overshadow the potential for abuse. In this case, they don't.
- CatWChainsaw 4y agoIt's not paranoid, because... duh. The more places where networks capable of surveillance exist, the less privacy you have, and the less autonomy you have. This has been obvious for decades. It is not surprising. No one on HN should be surprised by either the surveillance capabilities of a smart car, or the assdouchery capabilities of people who work for... ahem. I, for one, took both as a given, and I don't even work in tech.
