Tesla Model S hacked from 12 miles away
Practically everyone knows modern cars are hackable over the cell network, but that privilege is only accessible by the government. However, for the first time a team of Asian hackers managed to hack a Tesla model S "government style" from 12 miles away. They were able to tamper with the brakes and though this report only says they were able to slam the brakes, it also obviously means they could prevent the brakes from being applied. They said nothing about being able to slam the gas . . . . . probably for obvious reasons such as Michael Hastings. Old news of a sort, that puts the writing on the wall.
