Tesla hacked again, 24 more zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own Tokyo

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Just to be very clear: Tesla is not as special. A lot of modern cars are incredibly susceptible to being pwned because "car companies" repeatedly demonstrate that they are car companies and not tech companies because they keep making rookie errors when it comes to security.
Car companies out source to 3rd parties for their car apps. And these 3rd parties just pump things out on aggressive deadlines. A couple former coworkers work(ed?) at one.
Edit - although, given the amount of in house tech at tesla, I'd expect them to mostly do their own software
If people could see how absolutely shit pretty much every car manufacturers’ software and APIs are they would understand it’s foolish to trust them
I work with pretty much all of them and they’re all trash
It's funny to me that every 100 dollar tablet is better than any in car display i have ever seen.
Shit on Tesla all you want, but the new ones come with a Ryzen processor. Beats any 100 dollar, and any 300 dollar tablet.
If it doesn't have at least a 3070 RTX, I am out.
Not that "real" tech companies have a better record when speaking about IT security, tbh...
