    Worship them if you want... but when their product is wrapped up in and embedded with so much technology, I would hope they have significantly invested in security, redundancy and diversity of their systems.... otherwise they're going to lose the trust of the buying public. Remember when someone released a hack on a Jeep, shutting down the brake system? These kinds of hacks haven't gone away.... and Tesla isn't immune

    you're probably just going to dismiss it as FUD... but no thanks, I'll stick with vehicles that listen to the driver's input only... but maybe that's because I'm a network engineer, and think of the evil that hackers can do- since it's part of my job to keep them out.
