Hacker tears open Tesla Autopilot module

2016-04-11 2

Because Tesla does things other automakers don't, or in ways other automakers don't, it stokes a lot of curiosity among car and tech fans alike. The hacking community has taken quite an interest in the Tesla Model S since its introduction, and they'll certainly continue to tinker with the Model X and Model 3 in the future. One man who has made a name for himself for his Tesla hacks is Jason Hughes, AKA wk057. He's the guy who found the P100D badge design within a firmware update of his Model S (and accused the automaker of attempting to subsequently downgrade his firmware). Now, Hughes has conducted a teardown of Tesla's Autopilot module, and has posted photos and findings to his new website.
