Security researchers at the Def Con hackers' gathering in Las Vegas tell us how they took over a Tesla car. Plus, a look at the software used by some governments to monitor people. And, what might the destruction of HitchBOT, a hitch-hiking robot, say about our willingness to accept mechanised companions at home and work?
