With great technology comes great responsibility. That’s what Tesla and other high-tech car companies are learning now that they’re working on creating autonomous vehicles and other technologically advanced driving features.
A group of hackers recently tested whether or not they could access into Tesla vehicles from miles away — and they were successful. They were able to override the car’s controls, open the trunk, unlock the doors and even apply the breaks. Cars had to be at least somewhat nearby and connected to a malicious WiFi hotspot in order for those hacks to work. But it is possible that drivers could be in that type of situation at some point if they’re not aware of the potential risks involved.
