      Yes a big risk. Both natsec and IP theft are major concerns and cars are fully mic’d and compromisable.

      Then he should solve the issue by requiring the code to be hosted on American servers with source code inspection.

      Not by making EVs unaffordable.

        Novel idea: make a car, not a cloud service. My phone is better at navigation etc anyways.

        “source code inspection.”

        Great idea. That way it can be put on pause indefinatly because that shit takes years.

        On top of it. You can NEVER be certain anyway because there’s code burnt into the chips that you cannot read.

          Then make it so the manufacturer cannot just push cloud updates without permission from an oversight committee.

          Raising the price does nothing at all to fix the security issues.

            It’s just not the same to review code that runs a slot machine.

            And code that runs a whole car.

            One of the two is a whole lot more complex and probably had millions of lines more than the other.

            I’ll let you guys which is which

      Do you have a phone in your pocket?

      If you do then congratulations. All of the data your car would collect is already out there for sale to the CCP.

      If you’re talking about people who have high level sensitive conversations in cars, then yes. But that’s an incredibly small group and they have those conversations in government vehicles that are all made in the US.

      Not put a gazillion dollar tarifs on them.
