<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI've read a few articles from people expressing their fear of buying Chinese electric cars, in case the Chinese government decides one day to introduce some line of evil code into their car. Today I think it is a bit of paranoia, but we also have to be clear that it can be a reality. And I don't know how that risk can be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The manufacturers of these cars can update the car's software via online or Wi-Fi, and users are completely in their hands. I don't know if it is true, but I have read that in China it is prohibited to park a Tesla car near military installations, since China is not sure what information those cars transmit to its headquarters in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no one innocent in this business, apart from users who think little and sometimes trust too much. Users are increasingly in the hands of manufacturers so that they can make money with the information they obtain from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With these new electric cars we can do little other than be aware of the \u201cproblem\u201d, and adjust the car's privacy settings to limit the amount of data that is collected and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as I said before, we have no idea what they get or what they do with that information. That is why it is essential that authorities and the automotive industry work together to develop stricter privacy and security standards for connected vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is essential that we are aware that modern cars are full of high-tech cameras and sensors for the different safety systems and driving aids to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we must take into account this evolution is a double-edged sword, because it makes vehicles more vulnerable to cyber attacks, in addition to obtaining all types of user data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desde la perspectiva de las agencias de inteligencia, estos coches, con sus numerosos sensores y c\u00e1maras, alguno los ha definido como \u201cm\u00e1quinas de esp\u00edar sobre cuatro ruedas\u00bb, pues los veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos pueden filmar todo lo que ocurre a su alrededor mientras circulan por nuestras ciudades y luego transferir los datos a sus fabricantes, algunos de los cuales est\u00e1n en China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the question that arises is: Is that what we want? Do we want our government to have eyes and ears on many of the cars that circulate through our cities? And what happens if that government is foreign, as may be the case with China?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The European Union has introduced a series of cybersecurity rules for new cars. Starting July 7, 2024, all new models sold in the region must comply with UN regulations R155 and R156.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
R155 requires a management system from manufacturers, while R156 ensures that vehicle software updates are safer from cybersecurity threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there is no guarantee about the control of the data that car manufacturers obtain from us. And this is an urgent issue to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We'll see how this matter evolves over time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
