Tesla's don't use traffic sign recognition by the camera for speed limits, they use google maps data. Fake news

Yeah, this was done with a 2016 car. Tesla said a person would probably have misread it also, which is pretty true.
"Tesla has stopped using Mobileye cameras on its newest cars, but it doesn’t see any way to address the issue in existing vehicles."

Going to have to take the other side here. "Hack" or "hacking" doesn't only mean technology.
[–] analfaveto 1 point 13 points 14 points (+14|-1) ago
And "technology" doesn't mean "computers." It annoys me when people say stupid things like "I work in tech." What the fuck does that mean? You make bricks? You weave clothes? You print books? You design nuclear power stations?

From the road sign, they hacked the car remotely. I agree with you, but your definition is wrong. Yet I don't know how to make it right. Maybe they are hackers?
E: Yeah, they are hackers. Cheesy hackers, but hackers nonetheless.
E: Also, all this faggot technology and the fucking car isn't programmed to know the maximum speed limit in the state? Or was this in Montana or something during the day?
E: I guess alphabet soup doesn't want to shut down its future killing spree.

Yes. There needs to be another word for that. Techsploiters. Exploiters of a system who do not have intricate knowledge of it. It ain't hacking as I would understand it.

Then you don't understand hacking. It's an ethos; it's about getting things other people built to do things outside the intended purpose. It's about cultivating a mindset.
ITS OKAY TO BE WHITE was hacking.

It doesn't cross-reference GPS information? My little garmin can do this.
Are you fucking serious? They programmed these to read the signs but not also take the traffic/GPS info?? A $50 device can tell me the speed limit of the road I'm on. What the fuck? Please tell me I'm missing something here...

The older teslas have some kind of camera to read signs that can't be disabled.
