Why Tesla Gets Hacked Every Year at Pwn2Own
Tesla Gets Hacked Every Year at Pwn2Own. The Reason Should Worry Every EV Owner.
Most people think electric vehicle cybersecurity is a software problem. It isn't.
In this episode of Silicon to Software, we explore why modern EV security begins with hardware. Using real-world research from Tesla's appearances at Pwn2Own, we break down CAN bus security, Electronic Control Units (ECUs), charging port attack surfaces, OTA update risks, embedded systems security, and the growing role of AI hardware in connected vehicles.
You'll learn how automotive cybersecurity has evolved, why legacy vehicle communication networks are still vulnerable, and how standards like UNECE R155 and ISO/SAE 21434 are reshaping the future of secure vehicle design.
Whether you're an engineer, cybersecurity professional, PCB designer, semiconductor expert, or simply interested in how modern electric vehicles really work, this episode provides a practical look at the hardware challenges behind automotive security.
Topics covered include:
• Tesla Pwn2Own exploits • CAN bus architecture • ECU security • EV charging cybersecurity • Embedded systems security • AI hardware • Hardware Security Modules • Automotive cybersecurity standards • OTA update security • PCB and electronics design
Subscribe to Silicon to Software for more deep dives into AI hardware, semiconductors, PCB engineering, embedded systems, cybersecurity, and the technology shaping the future.
