The cracker Ge0Hot is widely known in narrow circles as a man who hacked the iPhone and the PS3 gaming system. In recent years, the hacker has settled down and picked himself up, after which he decided to engage in creative activity. For example, last year he founded a startup Comma.ai, in which he tried unsuccessfully to develop a universal system of autopilot, suitable for almost any car. Almost before the new year, the programmer seems to have left the venture and for some time lost sight of, but the other day showed up under very interesting circumstances, once again being in the center of the scandal.
The guy wanted to buy a Model S car and even issued a preliminary order, but Ilona Mask's lawyers contacted Hotz and advised him not to violate laws related to intellectual property.
Having received such an unexpected response when trying to get his prepaid car, Hotz was upset, after which he simply canceled the order. The Electrek website reports that Ge0Hot continued to work on a universal autopilot in the new OpenPilot project, within which it planned to adapt its development to Tesla products, which probably attracted unnecessary attention.
However, nothing prevents Hotzu buy the right model of the car from his hands or ask friends to make a purchase.
