so after reading another article where Europeans discovered that Chinese EV bus can be remotely "switched off". Concern is real. Did anyone try the same with US vehicles? This whole "Software defined vehicle" is a security nightmare. Car manufacturers care very little about cybersecurity ...so the only difference with China, is that manufacturers have deep ties with government so control of vehicles can serve political goals as much as economical.
