The ABC's BYD hatchet job!

from Auto Uncovered Hosted by John Cadogan and Adam Morris

Got any questions? Ask away! [email protected] John and Adam pull apart ABC Four Corners' BYD hacking exposé, arguing that every modern car collects your data and can be hacked through its CAN bus, no matter where it's built. They break down the TV tricks used to steer viewers, what the story should have covered instead, and answer a listener question on whether legacy brands can fight back against China, and why halo cars might be their best shot.
