Scenario: Undocumented immigrant family in Minneapolis get in their Tesla car to go to work, school or shopping. The doors lock and are disabled via software OTA. Because they are not mechanical, the family can’t open the doors. They try to roll down a window, but that too is software controlled. The buttons do nothing. They are trapped.
The car then disables the steering colums via OTA software so the wheel goes limp. It is a drive by wire steering with no mechanical, rack and pinion physical link for the driver to control.
The cars autodrive engages and sends the trapped family to an ICE detention facility.
Is there any design feature stopping this from from hapening today?
H… o…,… Fuck. Wait. No. Huh??
What the actual shit??? I have a model 3 (different discussion, I hate Mush as much as the next person) , and this is not how mine is! I’m going to admit that I’m the ignorant person here, 100%!! And thank you for being pedantic, because I needed it in this thread!
But HOLY FUCK THAT’S DUMB!!!
I’m going to edit my comment (not remove anything).
