"Hacker uncovers Tesla's secret 'Elon Mode' for hands-free Full Self-Driving"

TL;DR Summary
A Tesla software hacker known as @greentheonly has discovered a hidden feature called "Elon Mode" that enables hands-free driving in Tesla vehicles. The hacker found that the car didn't require any attention from them while using Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. FSD is Tesla's vision-based advanced driver-assist system that's in beta but is currently available to anyone who paid as much as $15,000 for the option. The system still seems to change lanes randomly and ends up driving slow on the highway. Whether this version of FSD will be available to regular owners is unknown.
