I guess you’ve never worked at a startup? Tesla is still very much a young and rambunctious company.

Ok, but we are trusting this 'young and rambunctious' company to produce software for self driving cars, where lack of appropriate policy controls could result in serious consequences if another "disgruntled employee" decides to sabotage the codebase

Really, the most worrisome aspect of this story isn't the alleged sabotage: it's that a single unauthorized employee was able to make such widespread changes to the software.

Says horrible things about Tesla's security policies, especially for a company claiming that it will unleash true self-driving sometime in the next 6 months.

Move fast and break things.
