Tesla is taking strict measures against the use of unofficial devices to activate its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature in regions where it has not been officially released. These devices, resembling USB drives and priced at around €500, plug into the vehicle’s Controller Area Network (CAN bus) and bypass geofencing and software restrictions by intercepting signals. South Korea has become the first focal point of this enforcement effort. Tesla has sent emails and in-app notifications to numerous vehicle owners, explicitly warning against using such devices and stating that it is aware of various circumvention methods. The company emphasized that verified violations will result in the termination of associated service access. Currently, only U.S.-made Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck vehicles are permitted to use FSD in South Korea. Although some owners of China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles have already paid for the FSD package, they remain unable to legally activate the feature due to delays in local regulatory certification—prompting some users to seek “jailbreak” solutions. Tesla stressed that vehicle owners bear full responsibility for any traffic accidents caused by using unauthorized devices. Moreover, regardless of whether direct damage occurs, Tesla reserves the right to deny warranty coverage. Additionally, South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has classified unauthorized vehicle software modifications as a criminal offense. Under the Motor Vehicle Management Act, offenders may face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million KRW. Tesla also regards these devices as cybersecurity threats, noting they could introduce software vulnerabilities and heighten the risk of hacking.     Tesla Cracks Down on FSD "Jailbreaking": Violators Face Full Liability for Accidents and Lose Warranty Coverage-

SINGAPORE — For five years from 2018 to 2023, a teenage boy sexually assaulted his younger sister, with the sexual abuse later escalating to rape. The assaults only came to light when the girl eventually told their mother what her brother had done, and their father made a police report. On April 6, the teen, now 19, pleaded guilty to two aggravated outrage of modesty charges and one charge of aggravated rape. He is expected to be sentenced on May 7. He cannot be named due to a gag order to protect his sister's identity. In 2018, the boy had been watching pornography and wanted to replicate the sexual acts he had seen on his sister, who was around eight or nine years old at the time. Seeing that their parents were not home, he went into his sister's room, asked her to lie down on the bed and molested her. "Following this first sexual assault, the victim, who had previously been close with the accused, started to fear him," said Deputy Public Prosecutors Hidayat Amir and Yeo Kee Hwan. The teen continued to sexually assault the victim. On one occasion, he requested his sister to perform oral sex on him but she refused. On another occasion, he showed his sister a pornographic video while in her room. Their mother, who got home earlier than usual, saw this and scolded him. Since then, their parents prohibited the teen from entering his sister's room. However, from 2020 to 2021, the teen continued to sexually assault his sister in her room on several occasions. He did so while their parents were not home or while they were asleep. The DPPs said: "At some point between 2020 and 2022, the accused was no longer satisfied with the acts of molest and decided to intensify the nature of his sexual assault." The teen then raped his sister several times on separate occasions. The court heard that the family's domestic helper caught the boy sexually assaulting his sister. She threatened him that she would tell his parents, but eventually did not. The helper subsequently kept a close watch on the girl and was often with her in her room, which led to the teen ceasing his sexual assaults. In August 2021, the helper moved out of the unit as her contract had ended, causing the boy to continue sexually assaulting his sister. The DPPs said the girl initially attempted to stop the abuse by throwing books at her brother, pushing him and hitting him. Despite this, he continued to sexually assault her. The teen's acts were revealed in January 2023. https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/teen-pleads-guilty-raping-sister-sexually-assaulting-her-she-was-8?
