i wonder if/how the EU and US would trust China not to remotely turn massive fleets of electric smart cars into suicide bonbers.
Has China done that before? How does a battery seize control of a parent device when it is only connected by power wires?
china doesnt just make batteries of course.
It does not need to. Just set the battery on fire. Now set 100.000 batteries on fire, simultaneously, in a city, at night.
Why would they do that? They're going for an economic victory, not military.
slapping a large fuel tank full of petroleum
Good thing we're playing it safe.
