Researchers at Chinese security company Keen Lab claim that they have managed to remotely hack an unmodified Tesla Model S with the latest firmware installed. After one driver\u2019s interaction with the Internet \u2014 in the video below, it was a search for the nearest charging station \u2014 the researchers were able to compromise the computer system of a Model S and to send some commands into its CAN bus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For example, they were able to take over both the multimedia system and the dashboard displays, to open the sunroof, to switch on the turning signals, to move the seat, and to open the doors without using a key. Moreover, they managed to activate the windshield wipers, to fold in the side mirror, and to open the trunk while the car was moving<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Finally, they showed that an operator some 12 miles away from the car was able to manipulate the brakes of the moving vehicle.<\/p>\n
