That may indeed be the case, but I can still see Tesla ship "damaged" cars, that could lead to crashes, because of something like this.
Furthermore, what if Tesla has the same kind of "security" in the software division, too? Can just about anyone in the Tesla team develop and push malicious code to the Autopilot?
I've always thought that Tesla has "better than most" software security for its cars, but I've never thought even that was "good enough". I don't think any carmaker has the kind of extensive security measures put in place that should be required for something that drives you to places on its own at high-speed, can be accessed remotely, and receives OTA updates.
