Just to be very clear: Tesla is not as special. A lot of modern cars are incredibly susceptible to being pwned because “car companies” repeatedly demonstrate that they are car companies and not tech companies because they keep making rookie errors when it comes to security.
Car companies out source to 3rd parties for their car apps. And these 3rd parties just pump things out on aggressive deadlines. A couple former coworkers work(ed?) at one.
Edit - although, given the amount of in house tech at tesla, I’d expect them to mostly do their own software
If people could see how absolutely shit pretty much every car manufacturers’ software and APIs are they would understand it’s foolish to trust them
I work with pretty much all of them and they’re all trash
