Security experts have cautioned that internet-linked vehicles pose an increasing threat to Australian consumers as their data-gathering capabilities grow.
Western intelligence agencies alarmed that they can't eavesdrop on Chinese-manufactured cars. I'm not a potential new car buyer, like ever, but this wave of pearl clutching articles has effectively been an advertisement for Chinese cars for anyone who remotely cares about abuse of their personal data.
so why don't these "Experts" tell everyone how to disable data transfer?
Just unplug this:
As an Australian, fuck em, Chinese cars. spying on my ain't a concern... it's ASIO spying on me that IS a concern.
