🚗 Tesla releases an app for Apple Watch: convenient, but is it safe?

I recently came across news that Tesla has announced an application for Apple Watch 📱 , which will allow owners to control the car directly from the watch. It will be possible to check the battery charge, open doors, start climate control and even view video from Sentry mode cameras. This is the company’s next step towards creating a full-fledged IoT ecosystem 💡

It's worth noting that Tesla is not the first here. For example, BYD already offers smart watches that work like a “key” for a car. Xiaomi, in collaboration with Nio, has turned its Mi Watch into a remote control for controlling your own cars. Mercedes-Benz even has an application for Apple Watch that allows you to monitor the car’s status and control functions remotely (which is what Tesla wants to do). Such solutions are becoming increasingly popular, taking convenience and comfort to a new level. ⚡

💀 All this sounds cool, but I can’t help but remember moments from the TV series “Silicon Valley” and “Mr. Robot”, where smart cars connected to the Internet were hacked quite easily. I understand that we are talking about fictional series, but they fantasize quite vividly on the theme of “What could have been.” And then, there are also cases from life plenty 💀

My conclusion is simple: the technology is impressive, but security must be a priority. Smart features are convenient, but it's important to understand the risks and protect your devices ( which I have already said more than once ) 🙂 🙂 🙂
