Here's a question for the lawyers out there: if you notify Tesla that they're no longer authorized to access YOUR car, and they remote into it anyways, would that come under Computer Fraud and Abuse?
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoIANAL. It seems like it should probably be covered anyway, without the notification. Assumed consent would cover updates and improvements. No-one is consenting to their car being crippled, surely.
- eschneider 3y agoIt gets me wondering how well Teslas will function with zero connectivity w/ Tesla. I mean, if the company goes under or (more likely) they drop support for older models, do older cars get bricked and disabled like clients for a multiplayer game that's gone offline?
- dgunay 3y agoI doubt they'll completely brick (the car can reboot itself mid-drive while still having throttle/brakes/steering) but I could see most/all infotainment features ceasing to function.
- xwdv 3y agoYou agreed to EULA.
- eschneider 3y agoSo one can never revoke access or change the access terms to one's own car/computer? That just seems wrong. I'm pretty sure Tesla can and does change access terms to their servers and charging networks.
- userbinator 3y agoNot all parts of EULAs are enforceable.
