Tech in cars can be used to snoop on you, Dutch spy chiefs warn

The Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) has warned that modern cars equipped with smart features like microphones, cameras, and GPS trackers can be used by hostile states to spy on drivers. This means that drivers may be unknowingly sharing sensitive information with foreign entities, potentially putting their security at risk. The concern is particularly relevant given the increasing number of Chinese imports in the automotive sector, which has raised concerns about potential espionage risks.

Why it matters

The use of tech in cars can be used to snoop on individuals, and hostile states could access personal data. This raises concerns over privacy and security, particularly with regards to Chinese imports.
