    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.

              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. :-)
