With Great Hackers Loose, A European Company Created The First Electric Scooter Capable Of Preventing A Hacker Invasion In The World. The Model Was Created Due To A New Cybersecurity Directive
According to a new European directive, starting in 2024 all vehicles must comply with new standards against hacker invasions. It is important to note that the rule applies to vehicles approved from the second half of this year. The security against hacker invasions aims to protect and prevent criminals on the internet from using technology to acquire data, invade accounts, and even control vehicle commands without the owner’s knowledge. Some electric vehicles have already been stolen in this way. Although motorcycles are not included in the new rule, it has been recommended that electric scooters be covered, considering that they have a high level of connectivity.
