I don't think that was a malfunction...
That was 'working as intended'.

Almost happened to Frank Rubio when the radiator blew on his ride.

You could make a religion out of this.

I thought one thruster has been permanently disabled now? Not that that's a major problem, but it does eat into their redundancy somewhat.

Morphit , 9 days ago to Technology in China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report

How will they filter it out? If they just don't mirror anything with 'forbidden' terms, we can poison repos to prevent them being mirrored. If they try to tamper with the repo histories then they'll end up breaking a load of stuff that relies on consistent git hashes.

That is fun, I didn't know that was a thing. I imagine that roll-overs are more common than submersion in water, but even so, that doesn't sound like a great trade-off. Even in a crash, being able to quickly jump out the window is good — especially if the vehicle is on fire.

The front ones don't seem to be hidden, but yeah - if they're not meant to be used regularly, people won't remember them in an emergency. I guess the rear ones are hidden because they probably bypass child-locks.

I don't know how child-locks work on mechanical door latches. If the vehicle locks when in motion and the child-locks are on I don't think there are emergency releases on most vehicles? The only ways out would be to get into the front cabin, break the windows, or find the internal boot release.

There's a panel that can be popped out to open the hood with a 12V power supply: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-34181E3A-B4A7-4658-906A-38C6647B5664.html

beneath the seat

For the toddler to use?

There is a mechanical door release if you're trapped inside. To get in from outside obviously needs the vehicle to unlock, so it has to be jump started.

Even if there was some kind of back-up mechanical lock I can't see anyone carrying around a key only for this specific eventuality. A glass breaker key-ring might be the best option — along with understanding how to use these emergency features in case you need them. A glass breaker might also save you in a fire or ending up underwater.

It's just looking in a sqlite file and listing the jpeg directory. The only extra step is running icacls to let the user read the files.

So... how does the user actually ®ecall™ anything? Do they have to ask M$ Co-pilot™ AI to get it from The Azu®e™ Cloud? Because I'm pretty sure a hacker could do that just as easily.

Right but if I use a hammer to prove the lock I just bought is useless at protecting my shed, I'm not committing theft. This was a few lines of Python to look at data that is explicitly stored for the user to look at later.
