The cyberthreat of Chinese electric buses


🚌 Norwegian experts have discovered that Chinese electric bus manufacturer Yutong may have the ability to remotely shut down its vehicles, of which the country has ordered 850 examples. Denmark and the United Kingdom have also sounded the alarm about this potential cyber threat to their transport networks. Gaël Musquet, cybersecurity expert, recalls that electric vehicles are more threatened by these flaws in vehicle connectivity, and that this does not only concern Chinese models. He calls for the establishment of common standards for these connectivity systems, and for Europe to acquire the capacity to publish its own software.
