    Citation from BBC news ... "In principle, if someone was able to... hack all the autonomous Teslas, they could say - I mean just as a prank - they could say 'send them all to Rhode Island' - across the United States. "And that would be the end of Tesla, and there would be a lot of angry people in Rhode Island." This is really scary ... but is it possible ?

    Yes. Everything can be hacked.

    There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

      Only if they are all pretty much there all ready: the Tesla range is less than 300 miles according to t'interwebs.

            sounds like double hijacking - real hijacking by technological hijacking

                Personally I would rather this being a possibility for Audis.

                  [XKCD](https://xkcd.com/1559/) did it first. (ok, not much of a "hack", but the idea holds...)

                    The keyword here is 'in principle'.

                        Yes a bag of flour can be hacked - by spreading it evenly through the air as an aerosol and igniting it, it makes a very effective explosive!

                            I thought about that as I typed it, but the sentence 'the operative two words are...' doesn't really work. :)

                              As far as my expresso machine isn't hackable, I don't mind.

                                That depends. May be you'd want it to be hackable, just for convenience. See fucking-coffee.sh[^] on this page. :-)
