Famous hacker George Hotz says he has a new plan to take on Tesla

Hotz has vocally undermined Mobileye in the past. At Tech Crunch Disrupt, Hotz referred to Mobileye as "jokers" for working "with regulators to lower the safety ratings of cars that do not have a Mobileye chip in them." Hotz told Business Insider that he has shorted Mobileye's stock. Tesla and Mobileye terminated their relationship following a fatal accident while a Tesla was driving in Autopilot. Mobileye said Tesla was "pushing the envelope in terms of safety" following the crash and ensuing break with Tesla. The self-driving car space is becoming increasingly crowded and that could spell trouble for smaller startups like Comma.ai.
