Musk’s FSD (fully automatic driving) was cracked again, and this time the hacker found out the "hidden mode".

Interestingly, the hacker found from the code that Musk named it "Elon mode" with his own name.

After testing, it is found that in Elon mode, it is not necessary to hold the steering wheel to start automatic driving.

Under normal circumstances, the test version of FSD requires the driver to keep his hands off the steering wheel and keep his eyes focused.

Once the system detects that the hand leaves the steering wheel or the line of sight deviates, it will send out a safety reminder, and after five reminders, it will lose the test qualification.

After cracking, the hacker drove 600 miles (about 965 kilometers) without receiving a security reminder.

Hacker Green said that the "Elon mode" is a function of Tesla itself, and he just discovered and opened the entrance of this hidden function.

However, for the specific entry method, Green said that there is no comment.

As for the naming of "Elon mode", some netizens ridiculed, "Is it that you will automatically tweet when you step on the pedal?"

More seriously, we are discussing whether this system can achieve L3-level automatic driving.

Six years focused on Tesla cracking

The hacker named Green has been focusing on Tesla’s cracking since 2017.

Previously, Green had exposed some safety problems of Tesla products.

For example, the security vulnerability of Model3/Y camera has a huge risk of privacy leakage.

Through this loophole, criminals can crack the camera inside the car and see the scene inside the car.

In addition to software cracking, hardware is also within the scope of Green’s research.

Green once said this on social media:

What is the first thing to do after getting a new Tesla?

Tear it down, of course!

Earlier this year, Green had exposed the disassembled photos of Tesla’s newly developed HW(hardware)4.0.

Tesla did not officially announce the HW4, but directly put it into the newly produced car.

However, Green discovered this and announced the installation of HW4 on February 16th before the Tesla Conference.

Apart from the product itself, as long as it is Tesla’s safety issues, it is all concerned by Green.

A few years ago, there was a high-profile discovery that Tesla’s discarded media devices were at risk of privacy leakage.

He found that the sensitive data in the old car media equipment recycled by Tesla was not completely destroyed.

After treatment, these old devices still contain the private information of the former owner, and the old devices can be bought at a very low price.

As a white hat hacker, in addition to announcing some new functions to the public, Green’s more important purpose is to attract Tesla’s attention.

From the results, Tesla does have many improvements on security issues.

For example, after cracking the FSD this time, Green said that he found that Tesla’s security system has improved a lot compared with 2017.

FSD safety reminder was spit out.

Tesla FSD’s safety reminder mechanism has been widely vomited.

Green’s cracking just bypassed the dedicated detection system after this.

Too frequent detection reminder frequency makes the experiencer feel "nagging".

What’s more, as long as you are distracted for five times, you will lose the qualification to use FSD.

It’s okay if FSD makes an accurate judgment, but in fact, misjudgments are too common.

For example, when the driver is wearing a hat, the gaze detection system may think that the driver is not looking straight at the road ahead, thus triggering a reminder mechanism.

Just because I’m wearing a hat, I can’t use the FSD before I finish my trip. Who can stand it?

However, according to TheVerge, Musk seems to have hinted in December last year that there is no nag-free FSD mode coming soon.

Are you looking forward to experiencing FSD that can open your hands and eyes?
