Tesla shutting off jailbreaked cars would be illegal in Europe at least
Couldn’t they add a hardware chip that acts like a tamper seal?
That’s the thing that gets jailbroken.
Depending on how it’s implemented, beating it will be a matter of shorting some circuits. See how PS1 and 2 were jailbroken with modchips.
Unless they find a legal workaround. They can probably do it, if they claim it makes the car unsafe.
They can’t just claim shit when people start suing them
It’s pretty easy to convince most people that ANY hacking is unsafe. It probably wouldn’t be that difficult to make a convincing argument, and as the maker of the car, they have a lot of authority.
They will hve to provide evidence that explicitly links hacking to safety problems that have occured in real life, never gonna happen
Or they can just brick it, like Apple does with iPhone, when people jail break them.
Did Apple ever lose a lawsuit on that? You put to much trust in the system.
Apple doesn’t brick your iphone if you jailbreak it
