Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

That would be pretty cool. AV tech isn't quite there yet, though.
It was a joke about https://www.wired.com/story/kia-web-vulnerability-vehicle-hack-track/
Also autonomous vehicle tech isn't the same thing as tele-operation, which is legal in many places and is technologically much easier than even L3 autonomy. https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2021/08/03/teleoperation-the-picks-and-shovels-of-the-autonomous-vehicle-gold-rush/
Is there a web site hack for these too?
When will this company get sued?
They've been sued, a bunch, and keep paying the fines, as many other large companies do as a cost of doing business because the fines are insignificant relative to revenue and profits generated by illegal behaviors.
The question is, when will enforcement and financial and legal liability finally raise the cost of illegal behavior to something corporations won't routinely do?
