Drivers have been warned that the smart features built into modern cars such as microphones, cameras and GPS trackers could be used by hostile states to spy on them. The Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) called for “awareness of espionage risks around modern vehicles”, including microphones that can by switched on remotely to listen to conversations. It did not mention an individual country, but the warning will add to concerns around a recent boom in Chinese car imports into the UK. In a translated document released on Wednesday, the AIVD said cars were becoming “increasingly smart” with digital systems that collected data and connected to the internet. “On the one hand this offers practical benefits, but on the other hand these systems collect a great deal of data about occupants, the vehicle itself, and about objects and people in the vicinity. Various parties, including state actors, can gain access to this data,” it added.
