UGeorge Hotz, owaziwa kangcono njenge-GeoHot ngumphakathi we-hacker, wayengomunye wabokuqala ukugqobhoza i-iPhone, kanye nokwenza okufanayo ne-PlayStation 3. Kodwa-ke, wayengafuni ukubambeka emikhiqizweni yabathengi ye-elekthronikhi ngakho-ke kubonakala sengathi, ithuthele ezimotweni ezizimele, lapho ibifuna khona futhi ukuthi ibe ngeyokuqala ukuthuthuka. IGeoHot iphumelele ukuguqula i-Acura ILX yayo ibe yimoto ezimele ngokuphelele Ngenxa yekhwalithi yakhe engenakuphikwa ekuthuthukisweni kwesoftware nasemfundisweni, ngokungangabazeki uGeorge ungumuntu okhaliphile ongayeki ukusimangaza.
Eminyakeni yakamuva uzinikele ekushintsheni izinkampani ezifana namaduku, kwazise izindaba zakhe kwa-Apple nakwaSony, ubesebenza ethimbeni lezentuthuko kuFacebook nakuGoogle. Kodwa-ke, kubonakala sengathi ayikho leyo misebenzi emgcwalisile ngendlela ayithanda ngayo, akusimangazi nakancane ukuthi lezi zinhlobo zemisebenzi ziyasilela noma ziyisicefe kulo mkhakha wekhompyutha. Eqinisweni, lezi zimfanelo zakhe zokuthuthuka zidonse ukunaka kwama-greats asembonini yezimoto, kuqala ngomnikazi weTesla Motors u-Elon Musk.
IGeoHot ikwazile ukusuka egalaji layo ukuguqula i-Acura ILX yayo ibe yimoto ezimele ngokuphelele ngesikrini esingu-21,5-intshi esibonisa imininingwane yohlelo, ngokususelwa ku-Ubuntu Linux igcwalise ingaphandle lemoto ngamakhamera nama-laser radar athatha imininingwane ngemvelo ukuze ungalahlekelwa yimininingwane futhi uthathe izinqumo ezifanele. Konke lokhu kubongwa kwi-mini-computer efakwe ngendlela yayo emotweni. Inhloso ukuthi imoto izenzele izinqumo ngokunembe ngangokunokwenzeka.
Konke lokhu kusebenze ukuze u-Elon Musk angangabazi ukuheha umqambi wezinhlelo osemncane, yize kubonakala sengathi lesi sipho esilingayo besinganele ukukhanga iGeoHot.
