The recent surge in fuel prices due to the war in Iran has spurred demand for electric vehicles around the world, and Chinese car makers are making the most of the opportunity.

Isn’t there another post where it shows the cars in the USA are spying on you, triggering an alarm when it detects that you are tired and what not “technological advancements” they put in them?
Hey China, you are welcome to sell me your clean cheap car!
Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027
Not quite, but almost
Sure, but they’ll be spying on you too.
What’s better? To be spied by your government that can use your data against you or the foreign government who can’t.
In an ideal world there’d be no spying, but we don’t live in one.
I mean, I agree we don’t want spying, but: a foreign government absolutely can use your data against you. Whether its creating a profile on you that could later be used against you when you enter that country, using it for statistical or targeted data for influence campaigns…there are a lot of ways.
China in particular has repeatedly deployed extra-territorial “police service stations” in at least the UK, Canada and the US to punish or harass those it’s identified as “Chinese” dissidents or sympathizers in other countries.
On the other hand, it is very unlikely that I would willingly enter either China or US, so there is that.
They would like to know which individual have specific skill sets they want. Things such as being able to fly a fighter plane, operate a nuclear plant, or design hypersonic missiles. And they don’t even have to touch that individual, just listen and watch, and get the information they need.
even if china does have your data, probably going to run scams that likely wont affect you anyways.
Not only do Chinese (and Korean) cars beep at you when they think you’re tired, they are louder, more annoying and more difficult to mute than other brands.
Plus most of them have a screen with the face of an AI assistant on the dashboard, it seems to be almost standard in China.
they are planning to actually put spying tech in your car by 2027.
