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.
I swear to Satan if I ever buy a new car I am ripping out anything that even resembles something that can broadcast. I want a fucking clock and a fucking fm radio and nothing else smart!
Good luck. Everything these days is touchscreen with no actual buttons. I disable Bluetooth and never connect, but the car still gets online somehow
Because it has it’s own cellular modem. You need to pull the fuse.
Be carful some cars will just brick themselves if u do that.
No they won’t
