A Norwegian public transport company has found that Chinese-made electric vehicles have security flaws built into them that allow their Chinese manufacturers to remotely access them and even control them. This means they can be turned into saboteurs and user data is going back to the CCP.
Arild Tjomsland, one of the investigators, claimed, “The Chinese bus can be stopped, turned off, or receive updates that can destroy the technology that the bus needs to operate normally.”
Major security concerns have been raised in Norway after safety tests revealed that Chinese-made electric vehicles can be remotely accessed and controlled by their manufacturers in China.
A Norwegian public transport company conducted covert cybersecurity tests on electric buses from both European and Chinese makers.
The investigation sought to determine whether foreign-built vehicles posed a threat to national security.
