Or that any hacker that gets into Teslas system will have a field day.

Mass theft, bricking, or actual crashing potential. It's a Futurama episode/ Sword of Damocles waiting to happen.

Right. Compromise the right credentials, and you can order a high percentage of parked Teslas to start backing up.

That probably won't make them cause damage immediately -- I assume there's a set of sensors that will apply brakes rather than hit a wall or a detected car -- but there's a lot of chaos to apply that way.

I wonder if Tesla's EULA immunizes them against such breaches.
