2020-02-19 | Hackers trick Tesla into accelerating 50 mph using 2-inch tape strip - Business Insider

'The McAfee researchers Steve Povolny and Shivangee Trivedi stuck 2 inches of black tape on a 35-mph speed sign, slightly elongating the middle line in the "3."'

'Two security researchers managed to trick two Teslas into accelerating well past the speed limit by fooling their camera systems into misreading a speed sign. ', "The safety of Tesla's autopilot systems is under close scrutiny."

'As the car approached the altered sign it misread it as 85 mph — and started to accelerate by 50 mph. '

'Last year the tech billionaire claimed the company would have a "feature-complete full self-driving" vehicle by the end of 2019. '

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.

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.

Understanding input systems and fooling the system to do something an unauthorized user wants it to do but the owner wouldn't want, simple, but it is hacking.

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.

Exactly why I will not be a beta tester for quite some time.
