Teslaβs self-driving safeguards fooled by $30 doll heads

A cottage industry has emerged on Chinese e-commerce platforms selling tiny plastic doll heads designed to trick Teslaβs cabin camera into thinking a driver is paying attention. The devices cost as little as $20 to $50.
The products β marketed as βtravel companionsβ and βdashboard decorationsβ β represent the latest and most absurd escalation in the arms race between Teslaβs driver monitoring safeguards and people determined to defeat them. Itβs also incredibly dangerous and irresponsible.
