It's nearly 2018 and my coffee maker has Wifi. My lightbulbs get firmware updates. How many Mercedes do? How many Porsches?
I don't know how much of a technology advantage Tesla has over the others, but it's plainly obvious that the traditional manufacturers are ridiculously out of touch with the "latest" digital trends/technologies.
This is also the reason why this headline will make it's way to major publications at some point: "Tesla cars hacked, none of them are safe anymore, hackers can take full control...".
You wouldn't believe the depth of certification processes for electronic systems in cars, safety comes first.
I do not say that Tesla cars are unsafe but there is a reason why systems with more "access" are more likely to be penetrated than systems with less "access".
