"A Tesla Model S, while on "Autopilot", crashed into a parked truck, killing one and injuring another. Tesla claimed in a lawsuit that the data about the crash could not be found. So lawyers for the plaintiffs tried a different route. For the Washington Post, Trisha Thadani and Faiz Siddiqui report: That's when they turned to hacker greentheonly, who had a robust social media following for his work recovering data from damaged Teslas and posting his findings on X."
"Inside a Starbucks near the Miami airport, the plaintiffs' attorneys watched as greentheonly fired up his ThinkPad computer and plugged in a flash drive containing a forensic copy of the Autopilot unit's contents. Within minutes, he found key data that was marked for deletion - along with confirmation that Tesla had received the collision snapshot within moments of the crash - proving the critical information should have actually been accessible all along."
A Tesla Model S on Autopilot hit a parked truck, killing one passenger and injuring another. Tesla told a court that relevant crash data could not be found. Plaintiffs' lawyers engaged a hacker known as greentheonly to recover data. The hacker loaded a forensic copy of the Autopilot unit and located key data marked for deletion within minutes. The recovered files included confirmation that Tesla had received the collision snapshot moments after the crash. The discovery indicates the critical information should have been accessible. Observers concluded Tesla should be able to access such data internally or employ specialists to do so.
