Not at all unique to Chinese vehicles, and certainly not to EVs in general. Scare article.

very much a scare article, especialy if you are reading the tag for each picture in the article, which includes the discriptor 'dark' they likely will never report when BYD goes "WTF" and has that shit locked down but good for good, but as we all know, the defaults for everything these days include remote access for dozens of entities, and should the Chinese realy close the doors to any and all tampering, the west will throw a hissy fit in the other direction. tedious.
