Cybersecurity expert DENNIS DESMOND explains how to stay safe in an era of ‘connected cars’ collecting data. Australia’s spy agency has issued a stark warning to politicians and public servants: do not discuss sensitive or classified information in vehicles. Speaking at senate estimates, ASIO Deputy Director-General Lisa Alonso Love said the warning concerned “any vehicle, whether it’s connected or not”. But she added that “connected vehicles” may come with additional risks for data collection. Her advice was that classified conversations should occur only in properly secured locations, not while travelling. The warning came after seven models of Chinese electric vehicles were added to the list of taxpayer-funded cars available to federal politicians, representing 30 per cent of the vehicles now available under the parliamentarian vehicle scheme. But this is not just a problem with electric cars, nor cars manufactured in China. Connected vehicles of any kind come with several privacy and national security risks. What are ‘connected cars’? According to the Australian Signals Directorate, any vehicle that is connected to the internet, either through an embedded SIM card or a paired smartphone, can be considered a connected vehicle. Almost all major cars sold in Australia with “connected services” collect and transmit driver and passenger data to the vehicle manufacturer. A study by consulting firm McKinsey found 50% of cars on the road in 2021 had internet connections and predicted the number will rise to 95 per cent by 2030. Data is collected and stored both on vehicle and offshore. For example, Great Wall Motor’s policy states its data is transmitted to Singapore but is available for analysis in China. What data do these cars collect? Connected vehicles are packed with sensors: in the seats, the dashboard, the engine, the steering wheel. Many also have additional driver-facing cameras plus external cameras.

1.6 million Tennesseans expected to travel for Fourth of July week NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WBBJ) - AAA projects more than 1.6 million Tennesseans will travel at least 50 miles from home for the Independence Day holiday travel period, which runs from Saturday, June 27 through Sunday, July 5. Most travelers will take to the road, with more than 1.4 million Tennesseans driving to their destinations. Air travel remains steady, while cruising and other modes of transportation see the strongest growth. While this year’s increase is modest compared to recent gains, it still sets a record for Fourth of July travel in Tennessee, as strong consumer demand continues to offset higher travel costs. “For many families, traveling for Independence Day isn’t just a trip, it’s a tradition,” said Debbie Haas, Vice President of Travel for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Vacations are one category where consumers are still willing to spend, even if that means cutting back on something else. With an extended holiday travel period, we expect busy roads, steady demand for flights, and continued interest in cruises across many parts of the country.” Rather than staying home, many travelers are choosing to offset higher travel costs by: - Taking shorter vacations - Choosing destinations closer to home - Closely comparing the cost of driving vs flying - Planning a cruise or all-inclusive resort where costs are more defined - Cutting back on extras like eating out and souvenirs This flexibility helps sustain overall travel volume, even when prices increase. For those who haven’t finalized their plans, it’s not too late to work with a travel agent to find last-minute options or savings. | Tennessee Travelers | |||| |---|---|---|---|---| | Total | Auto | Air | Other | | | 2026 | 1.61 million (+0.3%) | 1.47 million (+0.2%) |

The used car dealer reported quarterly earnings Wednesday (June 17) that showed net revenues of $8 billion, a 6.2% increase. To continue this trajectory, Barr said during an earnings call that CarMax’s online presence needs to change. “Our digital experience is too complex and not seamlessly connected to the in-person experience,” he said. “When a customer arrives at one of our stores, we do not make it as easy for them as it should be, given all the steps they have taken online.” The process has added friction to the customer experience, which has affected conversion and kept CarMax from using its scale and store network, he said. “We know exactly what needs to change, and we’re moving forward with urgency,” added Barr, who became CarMax’s CEO in March. Management said during the earnings call that consumer behavior in the automotive sector has pivoted toward a demand for a hybrid experience, combining digital convenience and physical verification. The company said industry research and its own in-house findings bear this out. Advertisement: Scroll to Continue “Buying a car is one of the biggest financial decisions someone makes, and they have a strong desire to see, touch and test drive a vehicle that will be part of their daily lives for years to come,” Barr said. To address this, management said CarMax is working to remove friction from the buying journey with upgrades like integrating AI assistants into the digital experience. “We basically improved the entry point for our customers arriving from online ads,” Barr said. “We’ve made it easier to navigate our website to get toward prequalification and reserving a car. We’ve effectively shifted away from sticker prices to monthly payments.” The company has also streamlined its web navigation to accelerate prequalification and vehicle reservations, making sure that the work a

Launch Report: New Nissan Leaf is a legacy reborn 17 June 2026 The third-generation Nissan Leaf takes a bold direction. Repurposed as a crossover with coupé styling, can this new philosophy appeal to buyers? Autovista24 special content editor Phil Curry reviews the model alongside regional experts. The Nissan Leaf has already carved out a legacy in Europe’s automotive market. As one of the first mass-produced battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), it became a launchpad and an early symbol for the technology. However, with increasing competition, the Japanese carmaker has taken a new direction, hoping to carve out a new legacy. As a result, the latest Nissan Leaf is a far cry from the one that landed in the C-segment in 2010. No longer a simple hatchback, the BEV has been repositioned as a crossover with a coupé-like body design. This re-imagining has helped to refresh the model’s appeal, moving it into a world of sleek and modern styling. Autovista24’s latest Launch Report benchmarks the Nissan Leaf against its key competitors in France, Germany, Spain and the UK. Regional experts also provide a breakdown of the car’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. A bold design for the Nissan Leaf Measuring 4.35 metres long, the new car is shorter than its predecessor. However, the change in body design comes as the Japanese carmaker revives the smaller Micra. For those looking for a larger, coupé-styled BEV, the Leaf offers some familiar design touches. The design philosophy is similar to that of the Nissan Ariya. A long LED-bar lighting profile sweeps down each side of the ‘grill’ to provide a distinctive silhouette. The large, illuminated manufacturer’s badge breaks up what is otherwise a minimalist front end. The new model manages to blend both sharp angles and curves with ease. The lower part of the front end

Robots navigating factory floors, drones inspecting power lines, and autonomous vehicles reading traffic all share the same constraint: They need to act in milliseconds. Sending data to a distant computing facility and waiting for a response takes too long. For machines operating in the physical world, that delay can mean a missed obstacle, a wrong turn or a failed inspection. The Robot Report noted that physical artificial intelligence systems can’t depend on remote computing for real-time decisioning. That problem has no software fix. It requires different infrastructure, built closer to where machines operate. That gap is what Nvidia and T-Mobile are moving to fill. Working with Nokia, the two companies are running computing directly through cell tower infrastructure. Instead of routing data to a remote facility, the system processes it at the tower, near where the robot or vehicle operates. T-Mobile was the first U.S. carrier to run the system in a live pilot. T-Mobile’s Tower AI Is Already on the Job Physical AI deployments have been moving out of controlled environments and into live industrial settings. Robots update their behavior on the fly. Drones reroute around unexpected obstacles. None of that can wait. Sending data back and forth to a remote facility introduces delays that make the system unreliable. The issue isn’t bandwidth. It’s distance. Computing needs to happen closer to the machine. Carriers are positioned to provide that. They already own tower infrastructure nationwide. T-Mobile CEO Srini Gopalan said the company built its network for exactly this requirement. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at Nvidia’s GTC 2026 conference that telecoms, a roughly $2 trillion industry, are about to be reinvented around that opportunity. “The radio tower used to be just a radio tower,” Huang said. “In the future, it’s going to be an AI infrastructure platform.” T-Mobile’s AI

StreamTV Show Panel Sees Cars Emerging as Next Big Screen for Content and Advertising June 17, 2026 DENVER — Autonomous vehicles may not yet be a mainstream reality, but media and technology executives speaking June 16 at the StreamTV Show’s TVREV Summit said the automotive sector is rapidly becoming one of the industry’s most important new entertainment and advertising platforms. During the panel discussion “Beyond the 30-Second Spot: New Paths to Monetization,” executives from TiVo owner Xperi, Stingray, Magnite and Merzigo discussed how media companies are finding new ways to generate revenue as viewing continues to fragment across streaming, social video, home screens and other connected environments. One of the most intriguing opportunities, panelists said, is the connected car. “Automotive is probably the fastest growth opportunity,” said Scott Maddux, VP of global content strategy and business at TiVo owner Xperi. “Every new car is shipping with at least one big screen. Second screens are coming this year.” Maddux noted that TiVo launched second screens with Mercedes-Benz in January and plans to launch with BMW in the coming months as automakers increasingly transform vehicle dashboards into entertainment hubs. “Not many people are reaching into their car and are thinking about video,” he said. “But autonomous [vehicles are] hitting the road now and starting now.” Maddux said the transition is already underway in Europe, where certain BMW vehicles equipped with Level 3 autonomous driving technology can display video content while operating under approved conditions. “Even on the Autobahn, below 60 kilometers, you can watch video,” he said. “And that’s happening now.” The opportunity extends well beyond traditional entertainment. TiVo already delivers entertainment experiences across smart TVs, pay-TV platforms and automotive systems, and Maddux said the company is beginning to package multiple advertising opportunities together, including home-screen placements, FAST inventory and interactive advertising

Hyundai Motor Brasil has launched the all-new i20, positioning it between the HB20 hatchback and the Creta SUV as the third model to be produced at its Piracicaba plant in São Paulo state. Six variants spanning two engine options are priced from BRL99,990 (US$20,000) to BRL139,990 (US$28,000), with sales beginning immediately for the Brazilian domestic market. Power comes from two 1.0-litre three-cylinder flex-fuel units: a naturally aspirated 1.0 MPI producing up to 59 kW and a turbocharged 1.0 TGDI developing 85 kW and 172 Nm from 1,500 rpm. The i20 measures 4,130 mm long with a 2,580 mm wheelbase and 1,780 mm width, with a 346-litre boot expandable to 1,152 litres. The i20 introduces Hyundai’s ‘Art of Steel’ design language to Brazil, featuring the ‘H-Architecture’ LED lighting signature at front and rear—a continuous horizontal strip reinterpreting the brand’s H logo. For the first time in a Hyundai model produced in Brazil, the i20 supports over-the-air software updates, alongside the Bluelink connected-car system as standard across all grades. The SmartSense safety package is standard across all variants, including autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Six airbags are fitted across the range, with adaptive cruise control and advanced driver assistance features reserved for higher grades. Source: Hyundai

The Nautilus was Lincoln’s best-selling vehicle last year by a wide margin as dealers moved 33,744 units in the United States. That put it well ahead of the Corsair (26,566) and Aviator (24,373).
However, the Nautilus is made in China, and that’s causing some headaches as it runs afoul of the connected car rule that was finalized in the waning days of the Biden Administration. As we’ve previously reported, the rule aims to “prohibit the sale and import of connected vehicle hardware and software systems, as well as completed connected vehicles” from China and Russia.

Your Car Already Knows It's Broken. Here's What Happens Next How remote diagnostics are quietly turning every modern vehicle into a self-reporting machine. The Mechanic Who Never Touches Your Car Somewhere outside Detroit, a fleet manager gets a notification on their phone: a delivery van's transmission fluid is degrading faster than expected, three weeks before any driver would have noticed a problem. The van keeps running. A service appointment gets scheduled automatically, and nobody ends up stranded on a highway shoulder. This isn't a futuristic scenario — it's standard practice today, and it's the reason the advanced vehicle diagnostics and remote services market has quietly become one of the more consequential corners of automotive technology. A detailed breakdown of how this data gets collected, transmitted, and acted on is available in this freely accessible industry sample, which lays out the technical architecture behind systems like the one in the scenario above. From Dashboard Lights to Predictive Intelligence For most of automotive history, vehicle diagnostics meant a warning light and a guess. Something was wrong, a mechanic connected a scanner, and a problem eventually surfaced. That reactive model is being replaced by continuous, sensor-driven monitoring that flags issues before they become failures. Modern vehicles generate enormous volumes of data from hundreds of onboard sensors tracking everything from tire pressure to battery health to engine performance. Telematics units transmit this data to cloud platforms where algorithms identify patterns associated with impending component failure. The shift from "check engine light" to "predicted failure in eleven days" represents a genuine change in how vehicle maintenance actually functions. Fleet Operators Are Driving Early Adoption While individual consumers are gradually gaining access to these capabilities through connected car apps, commercial fleet operators have been the earliest and most aggressive adopters. The economics are straightforward: unplanned downtime

You can now buy an EV for $25,000 and there’s a wide range of electric cars and SUVs for less than $45K from BYD, MG, GWM, Chery and other brands. Here are the cheapest EVs to buy in Australia right now. Why electric vehicles and modern cars are harder to steal Are EVs harder to steal? Discover the security features that help protect modern cars, how thieves target vehicles today, and what drivers can do to reduce risk. Modern vehicles are generally harder to steal than older models because they have multiple layers of security. Some EVs may also include additional digital features, such as external camera monitoring systems. Tesla’s Sentry Mode is one example, though these features vary by make and model. Crime Statistics Agency data shows motor vehicle theft is rising in Victoria, with 32,013 incidents recorded in the year ending December 2025, up from 28,897 the previous year. By comparison, electric vehicles remain a relatively low target for thieves. Among EV-only brands, Tesla was the only marque to appear in Crime Statistics Agency theft data for the year ending December 2025, with four vehicles recorded stolen: two Model 3s and two Model Ss. No Model X or Model Y vehicles were listed. Other EV-focused brands, including Polestar, BYD, Leapmotor, Zeekr and GWM (Great Wall Motors), did not appear among the recorded stolen vehicle makes. That low number does not mean EVs or other modern vehicles are theft-proof. Owners of late-model petrol and diesel cars, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) still need to stay vigilant. RACV Head of Motor Insurance and Roadside Products Kirsty Hayes says that while many newer cars and EVs include advanced security technology, opportunistic theft can still occur. “That’s why it’s important for drivers to understand their vehicle’s security features and

If you're buying a Chinese-built car in the US today, there's a good chance it wears the badge of a US domestic brand. But the decisions made to build vehicles in that country are coming back to bite them. The US is imposing bans on cars from China that will soon go into effect, and while the idea was to keep Chinese brands out of the US, domestic brands operating in China are also subject to the new rules. And now, the best-selling model from Lincoln is one of those that will need special permission if Ford wants to keep selling it here. Connected Car Software Ban Starts Soon A ban on most connected car software installed on vehicles built in China was first made law in January 2025, still under the Biden administration. The worry was that vehicles could be collecting data on American owners, and even on US Government facilities. The bans were set to go into effect with software for model year 2027 and hardware for 2030, and the Trump administration kept them in place. For model year 2024, Ford moved production of the Lincoln Nautilus from a plant in Ontario, Canada, to a factory in China. It has been importing every Nautilus from there since, and that added up to 33,744 units last year, a figure that made it the brand's bestseller by around 8,000 vehicles. Come January, when Ford wants to start importing 2027 model year Nautilus SUVs from China, it won't be able to. Unless, that is, it gets approval from the US Commerce Department. Reuters reports that Ford is seeking to get that authorization as one of the few automakers affected. Automakers Are Trembling In Fear Of Incoming Connected Car Ban Automakers are concerned about how soon the rule could go into effect.

Next-Generation Hyundai Bayon-Based SUV Rendered: India Launch Expected in 2026 - Team Autopunditz - 7 hours ago - 5 min read Hyundai is preparing an all-new compact crossover that is expected to share its foundations with the next-generation Bayon. Recently spotted testing both overseas and in India, the upcoming model appears to be moving away from the rounded crossover character of the current European Bayon and adopting a more upright, conventional SUV design. Fresh digital renderings based on the camouflaged prototypes provide an early indication of how the production vehicle could look. However, Hyundai has not released official design sketches, specifications or images, and the rendered vehicle should therefore be treated as an independent interpretation rather than the final production model. The new SUV is expected to make its Indian debut during the second quarter of FY2027, corresponding to the July–September 2026 period. It could become an important addition to Hyundai’s portfolio by offering buyers a crossover positioned close to the Creta while retaining relatively compact exterior dimensions. Sharper and More Upright Exterior Design The next-generation model appears substantially different from the Bayon currently sold in Europe. Spy photographs indicate a taller bonnet, flatter roofline, more upright glasshouse and a relatively vertical tailgate. The digitally rendered front fascia features slim LED daytime-running lights positioned above vertically arranged headlamp units. A broad grille and a more sculpted bumper give the vehicle a stronger SUV identity than the outgoing Bayon. Along the sides, the model is expected to feature prominent wheel-arch cladding, squared-off body panels and a rising shoulder line. The flatter roof and upright rear section should also improve headroom and luggage-carrying capacity. At the rear, test vehicles suggest a distinctive lighting arrangement and a broad tailgate. The final lamp design remains concealed, but Hyundai is likely to use a connected

The opening weekend of the 2026 FIFA World Cup delivered historic moments on the pitch and significant transportation challenges on the roads surrounding host venues across the United States. With millions of fans traveling to matches, host cities experienced notable fluctuations in traffic conditions before and after kickoff. Using INRIX mobility data, we analyzed traffic performance within a one-mile radius of seven stadiums that hosted matches during the tournament’s first three days. The results reveal how event timing, venue location, and fan travel patterns influenced congestion levels, providing an early look at the transportation impacts of one of the world’s largest sporting events. June 12, 2026 – SoFi Stadium – Los Angeles, CA – 6:00pm Kickoff In the one-mile radius around SoFi stadium traffic speeds began to fall around 1:00pm, two hours before kickoff time. By the 3:00pm and 4:00pm hours, traffic had slowed about 20% versus normal Friday traffic, to 13.5 mph. Traffic speeds began to rise yet fell significantly after the event during the 8:00pm hour, when travel speeds plummeted 30% versus normal to 12.6 mph. Traffic recovered to normal around the stadium by the 11:00pm hour. June 13, 2026 – Levi’s Stadium – Santa Clara, CA (San Francisco) – 12:00pm Kickoff Levi’s Stadium hosted the noon kickoff for the first of three Saturday games in the United States, which caused traffic to slow 17% versus normal within a one-mile radius of the stadium during the 10:00am hour. Traffic pains eased only to significantly drop further to 23% by the 3:00pm hour, and by 6:00pm had fully recovered to normal.

US connected-car rule prompts Ford, other automakers to seek licenses for China-built modelsâ Synopsis Automakers like Ford are seeking U.S. government authorization to continue selling vehicles with Chinese-linked software, facing a ban set to take effect for model year 2027. This complex process highlights the auto industry's deep ties to China's supply chains, with hardware restrictions expected to pose even greater challenges. The Nautilus' software is developed in the U.S., but installed into the vehicle in China, requiring government approval to continue selling it âin the United States, â Ford said. Ford â is among the automakers navigating a complex and opaque licensing process, which is exposing the extent to which the U.S. auto industry has intertwined its supply chains with China. The rules include a ban on most Chinese-developed and -maintained software and cover companies with significant Chinese ownership. Lawmakers have proposed making the rules even tougher. They were adopted in January 2025 under President Joe Biden, based on national security concerns linked to the ability of vehicles to collect sensitive data on American owners, and have been kept in place under the Trump administration. The software prohibitions take effect for model year 2027, and separate restrictions on hardware take effect for model year 2030. Ford said it will likely start importing 2027 model year Nautilus vehicles in January, so it has â several months âto secure an authorization. HARDWARE BAN POSES BROADER COMPLICATIONS While the software ban has become a headache for some automakers on certain models, it is preparing the industry for the much more difficult task of decoupling the U.S. auto hardware supply chain from China."Hardware restrictions â are likely to be more cumbersome and require more time for automakers to adapt," researchers at the Rhodium Group said in a study.
