Appears to me the younger generations for all there abilities to manipulate smart phones, Xboxes and laptops learned so proficiently at school would also have understood in their history lessons the tactics employed by Helen of Troy , particularly seeing as one of the main strategies employed used a method that similarly attacks their very same consoles. Hindsight is a wonderful thing , but tends to imply that something significant happened whilst people were sleeping and going about there business totally unaware their situation was being undermined ..........I see it as history repeating itself on a grand scale and those employed to protect us should wake up to the fact.
The point I was trying to make Loz is that if the concern is around Chinese influenced technology being used to “do” espionage, then that horse bolted about 2 decades ago and is currently grazing in a nice field in Fiji. We all have phones, we are all posting this stuff on an open forum. There is nothing in an electric car which isn’t already in our pocket on our phones.
But of course that assumes that our espionage people aren’t doing the same thing (they are) and that they some how aren’t aware that this stuff can be used like this (again, they are).
If Helen of Troy were around now, she would probably send a parchment of her lady bits to an MP, receive a picture of their bits in return and not bother with the trouble of a wooden horse.
But as this is a thread about peoples experiences with electric cars (and some people saying they don’t like them), so let’s not get too far into geopolitics as that way madness lies.
