Re: Tesla Roadster
schmoell:Thanks for the YT link. Newer Teslas do not read traffic signs but use GPS position and a central database. Works as well as the automatic wipers. Guess, that I'm safe from this type of attack
The newer cameras are, to my knowledge (not exactly my field), not susceptible to these kind of attacks but I am pretty sure that if simple things aren't working anymore, real hacking (aka accessing the car's OS and control unit(s)) will do the job. Of course this works also with non-EV cars but I think the more tech these cars get, the bigger the risk of an attack point ("point of entry"). If you can update the whole car's OS OTA, I don't see why hacking it OTA shouldn't be possible, especially if someone had physical access to the car and modified the OS and/or opened a "port" of some sort.
