"Berlin Researchers Hacked Tesla Autopilot to Unlock 'Elon Mode'"

A team of Information Technology (IT) security researchers from Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) were able to activate a powerful "Elon mode" and gain access to secrets through Tesla's driving assistant. All Tesla models are said to be vulnerable to their demonstrated attack. The researchers were able to extract arbitrary code and user data from the system, including cryptographic keys and critical system components, allowing them to reconstruct how it works. They could also access a video with GPS coordinates that the previous owner of the vehicle had deleted. This article continues to discuss the researchers' demonstrated Tesla autopilot hacking.
