Israeli companies have developed and are selling advanced cyber tools that can hack into the tech of your car and use it to collect intelligence on you.
These tools can also assist in a cross-referencing of data to identify an intelligence target among tens of thousands of cars on the road. This technology can track the vehicle’s movements in real time and potentially eavesdrop on the people inside.

Israel Bans Chinese Vehicles from Military Bases, Citing Espionage Fears.
“Only we are allowed to spy on people”
They’re probably right
Honestly, it’s an OpSec nightmare for any military.
More and more of your personnel’s personal vehicles outfitted with multiple cameras, microphones, and wireless modems capable of transmitting that data to who-knows-where.
No military should be allowing such cars anywhere near their operations.
Most of the time you see a fascist scared of something it’s because it’s exactly what they’ve already or are working towards themselves.
My car is manual everything with the radio being the only wireless connection, none of that touchscreen infotainment bullshit.
My car doesn’t even have a USB port. Old but reliable.
Just assume anything with recording hardware and wireless communication hardware is spying on you.
Well its a good thing this powerful technology is in the hands of such responsible people with a great track record on human rights, obeying laws and being good citizens of the world.
/S
I seriously doubt my 2001 Corolla has any of these capabilities
