A secret mode has been discovered in Tesla electric cars that allows drivers to operate the vehicle without the need to keep their hands on the steering wheel. The hidden feature, known as Elon Mode, disables certain restrictions in the car’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which typically requires the driver to maintain their attention and confirm their presence.
The existence of Elon Mode was revealed by hacker @greentheonly on June 17, who shared his impressions of the hidden FSD function on Twitter. According to the hacker, when activated, the camera that monitors the driver’s attention no longer bothers them if they become distracted. This differs from the standard system, which often prompts ordinary car owners to touch the steering wheel to ensure they remain attentive.
It is currently unknown whether the super-secret FSD mode will be made available to ordinary Tesla owners. The discovery of this hidden feature has sparked mixed reactions among Tesla enthusiasts and the wider public.
In addition to the revelation of the secret mode, Tesla is now facing a surveillance scandal. Former employees who left the company this spring have come forward with shocking allegations of privacy rights violations. It has been revealed that the cameras installed on Tesla cars have the capability to film not only the owners of the vehicles but also the occupants and even bystanders. Furthermore, employees of the company had access to these videos and even created memes out of some of the footage, sharing them in internal chats.
The use of such surveillance technologies by Tesla violates numerous provisions of EU and US legislation on the protection of personal data. If these allegations are confirmed, the company could face lengthy investigations and multi-million dollar fines.
In other news related to Tesla, an informant has reported that a Tesla vehicle in the Dnieper on Zavodskaya Embankment knocked down a road sign. Additionally, billionaire Elon Musk has allegedly blocked the account of a well-known cryptocurrency, causing its value to plummet by almost half.
