Good News: Your Chinese Made EV Could Be Spying On You

Realistically, it is spying on you

Why your Chinese electric car could be spying on you

The car was 12 miles away – but the hackers may as well have been inside it. Over a wireless connection, the small group was able to unlock the Tesla Model S’s doors, open its boot while in motion and – most concerningly – activate the brakes.

The demonstration, from security researchers at the Chinese technology company Tencent, was no more than that. The Tesla vulnerability was not used on the road, and the company fixed the problem.

But when disclosed eight years ago, it was seen as a worrying sign: that as cars became increasingly technologically sophisticated, with critical functions controlled by centralised computer systems, they also became more vulnerable.

Since then, hacking cars has become a regular stunt at cybersecurity conferences. But there is a growing fear that they will not even have to be hacked. What if vehicles could be controlled not by cyber criminals, but by hostile states?

Last week the Biden administration raised the alarm about the growing prevalence of Chinese components in electric and future self-driving vehicles, as it outlined plans to ban components “with a sufficient nexus” to China.

The US Department of Commerce said it planned to prohibit Chinese parts related to vehicle connectivity and automated driving, saying that “malicious access” could allow enemies to “remotely manipulate cars on American roads”.

But, would a Harris-Walz admin ban the parts, what with Walz’s massive connections to the Chinese communist government? Of course, many citizens might not care, considering that the use of TikTok means giving all your information to the CCP.

Chinese electric vehicle makers are becoming increasingly ambitious about Western markets. More than one in five electric vehicles sold in the UK are now made in China, according to Jato Dynamics.

Because of the much lower prices, these are what the working class and middle class can afford.

Martin said he expected that Britain would ultimately follow the US with a wider crackdown on Chinese parts. “If the past is any guide, the UK will probably end up doing something similar,” he said. “Decoupling is happening.”

And what happens then? All these Brits forced into EVs would now not be able to get parts.

    If you don’t think that the US made one, or any/EVERY other piece of “smart” technology, made here or elsewhere, is spying on you, then you are both delusional and naive.

  2. Professor Hale says:

    If it is spying on you, then at least one part of it is capable of acting as intended. If it is like other Chinese products, it will stop spying on you in about 4 months.

    When Krazy Donnie invades a disaster area with his entourage for a campaign event, he co-opts local police charged with keeping him safe from someone with an AR-15.

      When slut Kamila and no-balls Walz fail to visit areas in need they show “the little people” just how much they don’t care and hate our guts. SOP for elitist snob democommies. They still haven’t visited Palestine, OHIO.

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        CarolAnn,

        How do you define slut? Thanx.

        How many assets did Slutty Donnie deliver to the good people there? Maybe the Man-Whore could have thrown them rolls of paper towels. How many teenage girls did he proposition while there? The mayor of Ashville asked that politicians NOT make campaign stops there since the feds have to shut down the only two open highways into the area to protect them from natives with AR-15s.

        So Gov Walz has no balls? How many years did No-Balls, Slutty Donnie spend defending America? Oh, that’s right, he’s a draft dodger. His rich daddy saw to that. And YOU want Cadet Bonespurs, No-Balls, Slutty Donnie to be OUR President. He is amoral. Or unimoral – whatever is good for Slut Donnie the Man-Whore. Your Protector.

        President Biden and Vice-President Harris sent thousands of FEMA personnel, food, water, helicopters, trucks, doctors, nurses, rescue crews and 10s of millions of dollars to rescue these victims of right-wing science denial. There was a hurricane that reached the hills of North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky!! Historic flooding!! Science deniers (aka “sluts”) started to admit that global warming is real but maintain that their are no negative effects. “They” can’t “prove” increased heat waves, wild fires, floods, storms are “caused” by global warming.

        A hurricane that formed a few days earlier as a little storm near Cuba turned into a monster over the superheated Gulf. It will happen again – possibly as soon as next week.

          I don’t know what you expect a fellow citizen to do Elwood but Trump’s appeal in New Palestine Ohio Got my neighborhood to send donations to The First Church of Christ there and I know many places were moved by Trump to donate. We all realize selfish, narcissistic, communist atheist’s don’t donate anything to anybody but we do. You know us racist Christian nationalists you’re always seeing under your bed.

        • CarolAnn says:

          All of that is bullshit. You are a shallow creep just like the rest of your comrades:

            CarolAnn,

            Do you deny that Donnie was and is a slut and a whore?

            Do you deny that Slut Donnie is a draft dodger?

            Do you deny that President Biden and VP Harris responded to the states’ requests for relief?

            Why would you call another woman a “slut”? Women have it difficult enough in America.

            Your self-proclaimed “Protector” is America’s biggest creep.

            Would you feel protected alone with him???

    Your computers, telephones, television sets, routers and modems are all manufactured in China.

      ….thanks to Most Favored Nation trading status conferred by Slick Willie in exchange for 1996 campaign cash courtesy Charlie Tre and others.

      Fuck you, Elwood.

    What do 99.44% of people have when they get in their cars? They have their wallets, or purses if they’re women or liberal soy boys, and in those wallets or purses are their credit cards and debit cards, which can be electronically hacked.
