    Actually EVs collect a huge amount of information including video and audio of the participants. It’s a huge privacy issue regardless of manufacturer country but you obviously should distinguish the difference between a foreign country collecting information on your citizens compared to your own. Neither is good but one clearly has more authoritarian tendencies and less scruples about finding and coercing compliance with any means at their disposal.

      There isn’t anything inherent with an EV to necessitate video/audio recording capabilities.

      If you’re concerned about an EV having that ability, you should be equally concerned about traditional vehicles as well.

        I literally read something this morning on how you can now get cybersecurity insurance for your car. For a fucking CAR. Why tf do the circumstances exist that that’s even a possible market?
