Recently, Tesla has launched a severe crackdown on "FSD jailbreaking" behavior and clearly warned car owners:If you use unofficial equipment to activate the fully autonomous driving function, you will not only lose the vehicle warranty, but you will also need to bear full responsibility in the event of an accident. In some areas, you may even face criminal penalties..
It is understood that at the end of last month, Tesla's FSD (full self-driving) function encountered an open source technology crack, and related solutions spread rapidly on GitHub, GitLab and other platforms. It only takes a few tens of yuan for a development board to be connected to the vehicle CAN bus to bypass official authorization and forcefully activate this expensive function, covering all hardware versions from HW2.5 to HW4.
This cracking solution is mainly aimed at car owners who have spent more than 6,000 US dollars to purchase FSD kits, but cannot legally use the functions due to local certification delays (such as Model 3/Y made in China in the Korean market)By tampering with vehicle software switches and flashing third-party programs to connect to the CAN bus, it is equivalent to inserting uncontrolled equipment into the vehicle's "nervous system".
After the incident was exposed, Tesla quickly issued a warning to car owners through emails and in-car applications, saying that it had mastered various illegal modification methods and would immediately terminate service permissions for users who violated the regulations.
The official made it clear that regardless of whether the equipment directly caused damage, as long as traces of modification are detected, they have the right to refuse to provide warranty services, and the liability for the accident is entirely borne by the user.
South Korea has classified such behavior as a criminal offense and violates the Automobile Management Act to modify vehicle software without authorization, which is punishable by up to two years in prison or a fine of 20 million won (approximately US$13,200).
Furthermore, from a technical perspective,Accessing the development board privately may cause CAN bus failure and cause the vehicle to lose control. Moreover, the cracked version of FSD is not adapted to local road conditions and is prone to problems such as sudden braking and misjudgment, and the user experience will also be greatly reduced., it is not recommended for car owners to crack and use it by themselves.
