That's an excellent point. I know next to nothing about Tesla hardware,
but it looks like ARM hardware which has protection, so as far as I can see
running a stupidbackgammon game as root, and everything else for that matter is
not exactly confidence inspiring. What's more, that means that memory leaks
are even more likely to
screw stuff up.
I don't mean to sound like I'm picking on Tesla, but running everything as root
is a pretty novice move.

Is there really a backgammon game?
If so, does this indicate that it's running as root instead of a more
restrictive account?
If so, that doesn't sound like a good idea. Speaking of which, if that is
running as root, it strikes me that there are quite a few things running as
root that I think probably shouldn't be.
Note that I have no idea how constrained the hardware and operating system are.
I can imagine embedded systems that don't really have the concept of non-root
accounts.
