I have had this concerns about smart cars for quite a few years.
I could be old-school on this, but I like ICE, and I like traditional cars that are not connected / fully controlled by electronics.
The recent Lebanon pager explosions is not only for pagers.
EV batteries could have more powerful explosion.
In addition, EV can move.
More importantly, they can go autonomous.
In some sense, they could become autonomous moving “bombs”, especially if hacked by malicious actors.
Of course, a tank of oil (ICE) can do the same, with some autonomous features.
So it’s really important to build trust between countries and companies.
I don’t know if that’s happening.
