    Same, but I fear the risk of the car getting hacked giving the hacker the control or an EMP attack causing the electric car to shutdown indefinitely.

      An EMP will brick any car from the past 3 decades. And also trigger ww3, so I’m not sure if you’ve got your priorities straight there.

      ICE cars are just as reliant on computers. Have you seen the articles on “your car is spying on you” and BMWs heated seat monthly fee?
