Chinese-made rental cars recorded Norwegian soldiers during a major military exercise in Oslo, per Dagens Næringsliv. At least two Deepal electric cars, made by China’s Changan, stored video of soldiers getting in and out, where they drove, who they picked up, and how long they stayed at each location. They even recorded the codes soldiers typed in to pass through military gates. Soldiers found the footage by chance while clicking through the cars’ menus. The cars were rented from Hertz Norway, which is owned by China’s Geely. Despite the discovery, the cars kept being used on military grounds.
