EU Needs Smart-Car Data Security Rules And Can Learn From China, Group Says.

The article emphasizes the urgent need for the European Union to establish comprehensive regulations to address security risks associated with intelligent vehicles, particularly those manufactured in China. The Warsaw-based Center for Eastern Studies highlights that these vehicles, which collect extensive data, could expose European countries to cyberattacks and the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information. As the market share of Chinese-made cars in Europe increases, the think tank suggests that Europe could draw on China's existing data security measures as a framework for its own regulations. The article notes that while some countries are already taking steps to mitigate these risks, the EU currently lacks unified regulations, prompting calls for a coalition of countries to develop necessary security certifications for car manufacturers, especially those from non-EU nations.
