A Jeep was remotely hacked in a way that could kill the driver back at a hacking convention in 2015: https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/

I don't disagree with your being worried about Tesla's autonomous capabilities. But I want to point out that EVERY other car company, even without self-driving, is vulnerable to remote hacks that would be detrimental. The Tesla hate needs to stop.

Every car or just electric cars?

I don’t have hate specifically for tesla, but rather for the idea of potentially being remotely hacked while driving my car, and also being surveilled in my car… both of which I assume are an issue with any electric car.

While our phone surveil us, we can switch them off, or leave them at home.

Every car. That's why I used the Jeep example from 2015. It's a 100% gasoline car.

Why do people think the energy source makes any difference when it comes to surveillance or security?
