Elon is truly the genius that we deserve and I tip my fedora at him.

I don't know about what chips Tesla uses but if they're using the right chips and have enough storage on board, this might actually be the first time this idea pays off (other than the plethora of crypto miners).

I mean who hasn't come up with "what if we use peoples' phones, computers, etc. to do compute while they're not using it?!?" as a startup idea?

Siphoning compute from safety-critical systems while driving?

or battery life from someone else's vehicle they might need to get home?

or additional power from someone else's line?

You didn't even spend one minute to skim the article and yet you are spreading false claims

[sevenseventen]

With equal evidence, one might say that you didn't even spend one minute thinking about how such a scheme would necessarily be implemented before going "wooha, awesome!"

The idle compute power of millions of Tesla idle vehicles _does not belong to him_. The electricity in their batteries _does not belong to him_. The line power charging those batteries _does not belong to him_.
