Biden orders US investigation of national security risks posed by Chinese-made 'smart cars'
apnews.com
Citing potential national security risks, the Biden administration says it will investigate Chinese-made “smart cars” that can gather sensitive information about Americans driving them.
The probe could lead to new regulations aimed at preventing China from using sophisticated technology in electric vehicles and other so-called connected vehicles to track drivers and their personal information. Officials are concerned that features such as driver assistance technology could be used to effectively spy on Americans.
While the action stops short of a ban on Chinese imports, President Joe Biden said he is taking unprecedented steps to safeguard Americans’ data.

So if china has tech that effectively tracks our movements and personal information, can we investigate ford, GM, nissan, and other manufacturers for the same thing? Or is it just china.
Don’t even need to do an investigation. If you read Mozilla’s auto manufacturer privacy report, auto makers openly admit to spying on everyone to a repulsive degree. And then sell all that info to anyone they want with no way to opt out, well other than buying an older car without any connectivity.
Yeah.
It's OK for us Americans to fuck each other in the ass. But NO Chinese ass fucking allowed!
Government isn't worried about your privacy. They are worried about national security. Another country being able to track diplomats, generals, other high value targets for kidnapping or espianoge.
Teslas were banned from some areas in China three years ago for this.
