Chinese EV makers are relatively new comers to global EV markets.

Chinese companies were early adopters of EVs but couldn't get their tech in good enough quality to export to developed countries.

Tesla then jumped into the world market and spent their own money on DC charging stations opening up the world to EV adoption.

Chinese auto companies as usual were never world leaders in making new tech mainstream...just a follower...even in their own backyard. 😞

Did Tesla or other American or EU EV makers transferred their core EV tech to Chinese EV companies ? Lol. US is a loser in manufacturing and industry now, and so has all these complaints about China.

BYD to fix cars after hacking potential exposed​


Chinese car giant BYD will make a big change to one of its best-selling Australian cars after its security system was compromised by hackers.

BYD will issue a remote security update for its Shark 6 ute following a cybersecurity report by the ABC’s Four Corners program.
The car maker will send an over-the-air update for the car’s Android infotainment system preventing people who physically access cars from uploading their own software into the car’s infotainment system.

The update follows a blog post by Fortify Labs, the IT firm behind the ABC’s Asleep at the Wheel story, which published context surrounding “what wasn’t in the Four Corners episode”, including “serious ethical concern” as to how the car was hacked.

The company said it was approached by the ABC and asked to “simulate the remote access a car manufacturer has to a connected vehicle and demonstrate how this access could be abused”.

It said the ABC’s program did not show exactly how it accessed electronic systems within a BYD Shark 6 owned by the firm, as there was “ethical concern” about revealing potential flaws in the car’s system, because “this same technique can be used against other Android-based head units in vehicles from other manufacturers”.

While the ABC’s story focused on electric cars from China, the tech firm used to demonstrate flaws in modern vehicles stated it “applies to all vehicle manufacturers”.

A story published online by ABC journalist Angus Grigg described how “we got a cybersecurity expert to hack this BYD. It was too easy”.
