From Electric Vehicle Society.
Can EVs be hacked? And with Chinese EVs entering more markets, is this a real security concern — or are all modern cars now connected computers on wheels?
In this EV Society Mini Brief, host Tim Burrows speaks with David Shipley, CEO and Co-Founder of Beauceron Security, about the real cybersecurity questions facing modern vehicles — including Chinese EVs, other electric vehicles, and today’s internet-connected gasoline cars.
David explains why this is not just an EV issue, how the 2015 Jeep Cherokee hack changed the conversation, what connected vehicles are actually connected to, what kinds of vehicle data may be collected, and why cybersecurity, privacy, software updates, apps, Bluetooth, phone keys, charging networks, and cameras all matter.
The goal is not panic. It is practical understanding.
David also explains what better protection could look like, including stronger cybersecurity standards, a Connected Car Bill of Rights, clear software update commitments, independent testing, and a physical “right to disconnect” from external vehicle communications.
