  it sounds from the article like this is on either 1 or 3 planes and hopefully that number has decreased since 2019 hoping 'deployed in 45 days' doesn't mean what I think it means

The Kubernetes implementation is on the server side, not the car. The only way to control the car is through Tesla's API,[1] and that doesn't let you do dangerous stuff like turn the wheel while someone is driving. Even if you could overwrite the software on the car, you'd still have to contend with the physical controls available to the driver. The steering wheel is physically connected to a typical rack and pinion setup. The brake pedal is physically connected to hydraulic lines just like every other car on the road. And like most cars, the brakes are more powerful than the motor. 1. There's no official documentation but a big chunk of it has been reverse engineered: https://tesla-api.timdorr.com/vehicle/commands https://tesla-api.timdorr.com/vehicle/commands

  The only concern is someone hacking Tesla's HSMs that sign their firmware and software updates, since then they could craft a malicious payload disguised as a software update that flashes new firmware onto the BMS and as such causes your car to explode the next time you plug into a supercharger, for example.
