    Tesla, founded by the billionaire CEO Elon Musk, has frequently faced scrutiny over safety issues.

    That is incorrect

      Is this the company where he paid a sum of money to the real founder or founders to be called the founder?
      Or was that another company?

    If Musk can remote disable the car, can he remote lock the doors and have it speed up?

      If elon can change the breaking for Full Self Driving, he can disable brakes. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if some people figure out how to backdoor a Tesla and disable breaks. Companies are horrible at securing data and with elons fire 50% of employees mentality I wouldn’t be surprised if the cybersecurity people get overworked/mess up one day

        Tesla offers challenges and bounties to get people to hack the cars so that they can patch the software. Most good companies that deal with software that must be secure do similar things.

      He’ll never admit it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he can.

    I’m halfway through rewatching Demolition Man as of yesterday evening. Simon Phoenix blew up the capacitance gel in a car using one of the cop’s electrical night sticks. I can only assume that Musk is now going to unfreeze John Spartan to deal with these crimes.

    Pretty much all forms of vehicle transport is unsafe. This is why electric cars should be thought of as: good but not ideal.

      I guess the question has so be raised how four people died in a car that didn’t roll over.

      The good thing is that Tesla has the records and will release them without issues…
