The Chinese have already flagged this Bravo by banning Tesla vehicles entering certain areas. They're worried about all the data from the cameras being captured by Tesla.This is a very thought provoking article and I recommend everyone have a read if you have time. It's all about the privacy and national security concerns surrounding the huge trove of data that can be collected, analyzed, and transferred in electric vehicles. With suggestions that the vehicle could essentially become "a missile". “Think about the danger when an update is sent to hundreds of thousands of cars wirelessly,” wrote Alexander Poizner, CEO of UK-based cybersecurity firm Parabellyx. He posed a hypothetical: “What if China used malware to disrupt traffic in Taiwan as a prelude to a military attack?”
The core of this issue appears to be that "there is no single standard around cybersecurity for either autonomous vehicles or the infrastructure to support these across the automotive industry". And more expansive and consistent privacy laws may be required to curtail the collection of such an unparalleled amounts of data.
The article states that "Clear, consistent rules across the major economies could allay espionage fears and decrease the likelihood that competitors will set out to hack each others’ vehicles. Strong encryption, privacy protections, and other data regulations could help prevent the weaponization of drivers’ personal vehicles.With the right constraints in place, the data collected by these vehicles could limit espionage and national security threats while significantly reducing crash fatalities and speeding up research and development."
It seems too me that BrainChip is perfectly positioned to provide a solution where privacy and cybersecurity are of particular concern in electric vehicles. Perhaps someone at BrianChip could reach out to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (and other legislators and policy writers) too let them know about Akida?
Is Your New Car a Threat to National Security?
Putting sensor-packed Chinese cars on Western roads could be a privacy issue. Just ask Tesla.www.wired.com
Tesla also wants to use your driving data to set insurance premiums. Once EV's become the norm I have no idea how they'll be able to capture and store so much data. It's just not the cameras but lidar and other sensors as well. My other fear is how do you stop over the air updates being corrupted and turn the vehicles into missiles?
