Electric cars made by a best-selling Chinese brand are recording drivers’ every journey and storing them forever, it has emerged.
Security researchers were able to extract the entire location history of a BYD Seal car sold in the UK, from its production in China to its eventual dismantling.
While the company said it was not transmitting location data overseas, experts said the ease with which location history could be obtained represented a security risk.
BYD is moving into the Canadian market.
