Authorities have removed two smartphone applications, including the Chinese BAT-BMS app, from app stores following reports of e-rickshaws being remotely disabled. These apps, designed for battery management, were allegedly exploited to disrupt vehicles by connecting to unsecured Bluetooth-enabled battery systems. The government is urging app stores to enhance scrutiny to prevent the availability of such potentially harmful applications.
