Hackers may able to access it, too – and it’s a concern for all connected vehicles, no matter where they’re made.
Like other computer systems, modern cars are vulnerable to hacking and malware.
In another demonstration, researchers bypassed anti-theft protections and used Bluetooth vulnerabilities to gain deep access to vehicle systems in a Nissan Leaf.
What to know if you’re buying a car So where does this leave you if you’re thinking about buying a new, connected vehicle?
The Australian Cyber Security Centre offers a detailed guide on what issues to keep in mind when purchasing and using a connected vehicle.

Rivian R2 Hits a 2030 Emissions Target Early Rivian has spent years promising that its vehicles would get dramatically cleaner over time, but the company rarely put hard numbers behind that promise until now.
The headline finding is that the R2 Performance with Launch Package has already met a target Rivian did not expect to hit until the end of the decade.
Rivian says the R2 assessment is the first automotive lifecycle analysis structured under the SAE J3341 disclosure standard for carbon footprint reporting.
So the widely cited “$45,000 R2” is not yet a car anyone can buy, and Scaringe’s comment that the R3 will land “materially lower” than the R2 is a comparison to a floor that hasn’t been reached yet.
That shift in leverage, more than any single engineering breakthrough, is what he credited with making a cheaper R3 and R4 plausible.

September 22, 2026 A BYD Shark 6 vehicle was remotely hacked by a cybersecurity researcher, exposing critical controls, location tracking, and cabin audio, raising significant concerns about connected-car security, as reported by Security Affairs.
Cybersecurity researcher Dan Hreszczuk of Fortify Labs found a critical vulnerability in a BYD Shark 6, allowing remote access to vehicle functions.
The entry point lacked any password protection, enabling Hreszczuk to remotely control headlights, door locks, music volume, and the infotainment screen.
This compromised audio could be used to capture sensitive conversations and personal information, potentially aiding in identity theft.

What the letter asks A coalition tied to SAFE's Energy Security Leadership Council asked congressional leaders to move this year on legislation that would bar Chinese connected cars and the vehicle software and hardware that go with them.
The request is to get the Connected Vehicle Security Act across the finish line before the session gavels out in January.
Who is making the request and why now Bloomberg reviewed the September 15 letter from the Energy Security Leadership Council of SAFE, a nonprofit that brings together admirals, generals and Fortune 500 chief executives.
SAFE focuses on economic and national security through policies on supply chains, energy and transportation.
In the letter, the council argued the bill "would protect sensitive US data and preserve industrial capacity important to US military readiness."

A United States privacy lawyer who drives a Chinese electric vehicle says public alarm over Chinese EV data collection may overlook a key difference.
Grier said the Tesla Model Y relies on nine cameras and uses no LiDAR, radar, or ultrasonic sensors.
In her view, privacy law is about the conditions for collecting data, while security law focuses on who obtains it and where it could end up.
She also said some vehicle data collection happens because regulators require it.
These stories show why Chinese EVs keep surfacing in bigger policy and consumer debates.

The group outlined security risks and economic threats to the U.S. posed by subsidized Chinese automobiles and connected vehicle technology.
(Mark Schiefelbein/AP) It wasn’t the first time Trump signaled he’s open to the prospect of Chinese carmakers entering the U.S.
Speaking earlier this year in Detroit, he set U.S. automakers on edge when he said that if Chinese automakers wanted to build plants in the U.S., he would “love that.”
Chinese automakers have been growing rapidly around the world, taking share in established markets such as Europe while moving ever closer to the US’ doorstep.
But carmakers want Congress to go a step further by enshrining into law a permanent U.S. ban on Chinese cars and connected vehicle technologies.

In 2023, Mozilla researchers shed light on connected car privacy, and their findings were damning.
This, coupled with policies that are anything but consumer-friendly, makes connected cars an even greater threat to privacy.
Geopolitical risks: Are Chinese connected cars worse?
One of the biggest concerns surrounding Chinese cars is rooted in potential geopolitical risk: could the Chinese government use these vehicles to spy on the Western world?
As cybersecurity experts previously confirmed to The Guardian, Chinese cars certainly have the potential to be repurposed as surveillance platforms for a hostile government.
