The electric cars are problematic for privacy because every time the customer loads the car, could that device send also many types of information to the unknown part. That data would contain very specific information of driving speed to location, and if that data can be connected to data, what is collected from the mobile devices GPS-systems, the third part would know where the owner of the car is visiting often, and also who is with that owner.


When we are talking about other data, what would be collected by those load points, is if the person would drive over speed, because if the top speed of the vehicle is more than the top allowed speed in the country, would that mean, that the person drives too fast. Also how the person would use the gas pedal, would that tell that if this person is suspected for driving drunken. This same data can be collected from vehicles by using "lambda", what reads the memory of the cars computer, what controls the usage of the motor and gas pedal. In those cases, we must say, that street is not a racetrack, and that's why authorities explain the usage of that information.


But there are some other problems with electric cars, and those things are computer viruses, what could take those cars to control. In those cases, the car would become very dangerous, because if the computer viruses take the control of the vehicle in the wrong place, that could cause the terrible accident. In this case, the entire computer programs of the cars computer would be replaced with malware and that malware would use car's GPS-system to find out the most horrifying place to take the car for increasing the speed.


And that could be very dangerous. Those computer viruses can be very complicated. They can install by using USB-stick or by some other method. Those computer viruses can cause the physical injuries for people if they infect the wrong computer controlled device. If that device is some kind of automobile or train that could cause the terrible situation. If the brakes of the car would not work even the simple computer virus can cause the very bad situation.
