    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?

        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.
