The automaker Tesla has just released a timelapse video that shows how its autonomous driving system is currently under development and scheduled for entry into service in 2018.

Intel has just revealed that three vulnerabilities affect a wide range of processors over several generations. One of them concerns Tesla Model 3 and other electric cars that exploit the processor Intel Atom E3900. Discoveries by the company SentinelOne, two of the flaws are considered serious. They could allow hackers to gain higher privilege levels to gain full control of the computer. In the first two cases, it is the management of flows in the firmware of the Bios that poses a problem. From the moment the attacker can gain access physique on the device, he is able to increase his privileges. Few technical details have been provided by the founder, but it is strongly recommended to apply any Bios updates that may be available.

Tesla Model 3 affected

The concern is that these updates are quite rare and that the flaw sometimes concerns old processors, such as the Core 7e generation who are now nearly five years old. To avoid any problem, it is still possible to create a password strong to block access to Bios.

The third vulnerability affects electric cars and would also allow escalation of privileges if exploited. This breach could then give access to encrypted and sensitive data. Here again, you have to have physical access to the car or the computer. Intel has released a firmware update to mitigate this flaw discovered this time by Positive Technologies. In the case of Tesla, it is precisely the Intel Atom E3900 processor that is concerned. It is also advisable to apply a Bios update. For cars, this operation can only be carried out by the brand.
