If that tool were to leak or be sold online—Rodriguez himself says he doesn’t plan to publish his—he says anyone could use it to jailbreak their own plate in a matter of minutes. “They just need to connect a cable and install the new firmware, just like if you were jailbreaking your iPhone,” Rodriguez says….
“The Cybertruck’s weight, stiff structure, and sharp design have raised valid concerns,” she tells WIRED. “Any loophole allowing these vehicles onto [UK] streets needs to be quickly closed.” “It would be hugely disappointing if a backdoor were to be opened which allowed vehicles bringing an increased risk of harm to UK streets and roads,” agrees…
