Automotive Ethernet & Where to Find It (Tesla Example), New Funding Goal Reached, and Upcoming Price Increase
Automotive Ethernet is quietly transforming the data highways inside modern vehicles—and Tesla is leading the charge. Recently, we cracked open Tesla’s latest water-cooled, all-in-one ECU, which combines both the Infotainment (IVI) and Autopilot systems inside a single, dense aluminum enclosure. This update also covers our recent funding-goal reduction (which we've already hit!) and provides fair warning that the price of HydraLink will increase slightly after the end of the campaign.

A Day in the Life of a Vehicle Security Engineer
Many automotive engineers, testers, and penetration testers spend much of their time in vehicles, garages, or remote locations where space is tight, power is limited, and fast iteration is critical. HydraLink was built to thrive in exactly these environments. Read the full update.
Say Goodbye to Bulky Setups — HydraLink Makes Automotive Ethernet Sleek and Simple
If you’ve ever worked on a development bench or inside a test vehicle with Automotive Ethernet gear, you’ve likely run into the same frustrating reality: everything seems harder than it needs to be. This pain point isn’t theoretical. We’ve lived it... Read the full update.
Stories From Developers Who Are Loving HydraLink
Designed with developers in mind, HydraLink offers a rare mix of affordability, flexibility, and functionality. It supports Windows, Linux, and macOS natively, connects directly to Automotive Ethernet without additional converters, and integrates seamlessly into both manual and automated testing environments. It's no wonder teams across Europe are already integrating HydraLink into their penetration testing and prototyping toolkits. This week, we’re excited to share some fresh insights from teams already using HydraLink in the field and how it’s quickly becoming an essential tool in their automotive cybersecurity and prototyping work.
