Using Amazon Echo, Tesla’s owner showed how easy it is to get a car to leave the garage.

It would seem that the typical vulnerabilities of onboard systems of modern cars at the time of the announcement of the latter should be studied and taken into account by developers. How in reality it was easy to force Tesla Model S to leave the garage and go on an unauthorized journey, obeying a remote "instructor" we will tell in our publication.

The experiment was initiated by someone Jason Goecke, a software developer and owner of the brand new Tesla Model S. To accomplish his exposing mission, Jason used the Amazon Echo public cloud service.

As the programmer explained, the hacking of the vehicle control system was carried out by means of several fragments of program code written for Amazon Echo. “I used the Amazon Echo Alex Skill Kit to determine the key phrase and to send instructions to the AWS Lambda car system. This system executes the code written by me, which uses the functions of the Tesla Golang library, causing, in turn, undocumented functions of the Tesla API, which force the car to perform the prescribed actions. In this case, using the Homelink wireless system, the garage doors open and the car starts moving, obeying commands transmitted from outside. ”

The video below shows Jason pronouncing a key phrase. Recognizing it, Amazon Echo produces a series of actions prescribed by the software code. The result of such a fairly simple manipulation becomes an independent engine start, then - the remote opening of the garage door and Tesla exit to the road. Shooting a short movie outside the garage Goek "instructed" a small drone.

Here you need to pay attention to the fact that Amazon has provided developers with open access to the Amazon Echo Alex voice control system, and Tesla, in turn, has not yet officially documented its API for developers. It was such an accessible Tesla owner that “unofficially” the API for developers was used by Jason Goek for hacking, fortunately for him, being the owner of the car.
