Government directs car and EV makers to audit software following hacking fears
According to a Business Standard report, the central government has instructed vehicle and auto-part manufacturers to conduct a thorough review of the electronic and software systems used in electric vehicles and connected cars. This move follows a government order requiring Apple and Google to remove three mobile applications due to potential risks related to EV hacking. The report notes that the advisory does not set a specific timeframe for finishing these audits.
