What I mean is this: like with all technology - nothing is “100%” secure even with the best countermeasures and contingencies. This is how I’ll explain it: akin to how somebody can “virtually” hijack a commercial aircraft by taking control via hacking the software.
The hacker takes control of air traffic flow and compromises the software’s security. Now apply a similar logic to Electronic Vehicles: like someone hacked the EV’s software with mallicious intent on causing vehicular manslaughter or a hit & run framing the driver.
I know EV’s exist: but do YOU deem it scary if you suddenly lost control of it since somebody hacked into the software the EV is using by deliberately wanting to end your life by crashing the vehicle (they’re taking control of the wheel virtually).
EVs are different. I depends very, very much on the manufacturer.
Teslas are nothing more than playtoys. Everything is possible, nothing is secure.
Other american manufacturers are also thin. Not quite secure.
European manufacturers have strong traditions with their technology, and they are somewhat similar in this regard. But they are partially leaving these traditions, and there some vulnerabilities start.
Chinese ones, I don’t really know. But they are new, so it is safe to assume that they still have a lot to learn.
