It’s a lot like electric cars: I get that they’re better but I don’t trust any company to make one that doesn’t do something shitty. This is irrational past a certain point however, there is no reason non-electric cars won’t be programmed to do shitty things to? This is Xenophobia wrapped up in our emotions around cars, there is little evidence that Electric Vehicles are more vulnerable to being hacked than other kinds of cars, the reason everyone is nervous about this is that “western” car makers are being left in the dust because of their own stupid choices and everyone feels anxious about it. This is how it manifests, a general mistrust in electric vehicles we intuitively seem to have that is a mirage obscuring feelings of insecurity about our own societies.
