Tesla Crash Update - How Did They Hack A Tesla?
Thanks to consumer reports for making this video in which I explain how with very little effort you can cheat a Tesla into Full Self Driving mode without a driver. It now transpires that is what happened:
Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4 said:
"We have witness statements from people that said they left to test drive the vehicle without a driver and to show the friend how it can drive itself".
Tesla's response:
'Tesla's Autopilot is a driver assistance system that handles some driving tasks and allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel at times, but its features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous'.
Elon Musk tweeted that he rejected the idea that the vehicle's semi-automated driving software was to blame: "Data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled & this car did not purchase FSD". He said Tesla's separate beta semi-automated driver assistance system still requires driver supervision.
"Standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have," he added, referring to road markers that need to be captured by a vehicle's cameras to enable autopilot.
