Studies concerning the hacker hacking systems Tesla Model S conducted two companies — Lookout and Cloudflare. To gain control of the machines, the researchers needed physical access to the machine to connect the cable to the Ethernet-network.
Everything else has happened in the remote access mode: taking control of devices on the speedometer display the correct speed, opening and closing windows and doors, turn on and off the power.
Experiment first burglary occurred at a speed of 8 km / h (after a power failure triggered braking and electric trolley stop). At higher speeds, enable remote handbrake failed, on the dashboard went off all the screens, electric switched to «neutral», but the driver managed to pull over.
Tesla has promised to release a «patch» to the software of the car, which can be downloaded and drivers, and hackers in the public domain, along the way, with some virus.
Recall recently hackers took control of crossover Jeep Cherokee. Moreover, we made it through the Internet, without any physical access to the machine. They were able not only to amuse with climate control and switching the radio on full power, but also to send a jeep in a ditch.
