The president ordered an investigation into auto technology that could track U.S. drivers, part of a broader effort to stop E.V. and other smart-car imports from China.
Saying that the good ol' America aren't doing the same is keeping your head in the sand.
*Big* Tech really falls into the devil you know vs the devil you don't. Their all shit sandwiches, take your pick or go hungry.
Not yelling at clouds, just being realistic.
About your connecting phones to cars, you'll have to allow perms as to what data is shared right? My 2011 VW has Android Auto, but no onboard Sim, how are VW making off with my data?

" Tesla cars face more entry bans in China as 'security concerns' accelerate. TAIPEI/BEIJING -- Tesla drivers in China are facing entry restrictions at more government-affiliated venues, including meeting halls and exhibition centers, due to data security concerns amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing.24 Jan 2024 "
Don't most republicans still hate China, or did some fox news pundit cut a fat check and mysteriously overnight they now think Pooh Bear's just the bee's knees? If anything I would think the muskrat would be thw one to change their minds what with his "anti-wokism" and whatnot
I think they all hate electric cars because they’re woke because they want to take away ICE but then have mental gymnastics to love Elon because he’s anti woke or something idk it’s hard keeping up with their shit
But administration officials made clear it was the first step in what could be a wide range of policy responses meant to stop low-cost Chinese electric vehicles... from flooding the U.S. market and potentially driving domestic automakers out of business.
As much as I do not enjoy being spied on, it seems they're just banning them on the presumption that they might spy.
On the other hand, it sure would be nice to be able to fucking afford an electric car. I give exactly zero fucks about the US automakers. If they're going to keep up insanely high prices, that's their problem.
So essentially we're restricting American's access to electric cars, under the guise of danger of a fear we have, in order to protect businesses from having to adapt. Glad, as usual, that the needs of the 1% are out weighing the needs of the entire fucking country. Again.
Ahh so were gonna act like the real worry isn't domestic profit margins? Our roads, sidewalks, housing, neighborhood planning, and public transport (or lack thereof) are all fundamentally and deeply influenced by the automobile lobby to further their eonomic goals, but I'm sure it's all about privacy this time.
President Biden took steps on Thursday toward blocking internet-connected Chinese cars and trucks from entry to the American auto market, including electric vehicles, saying they posed risks to national security because their operating systems could send sensitive information to Beijing.
China has rapidly scaled up its production of electric vehicles in recent years, setting it on a collision course with Mr. Biden’s industrial policy efforts that seek to help American automakers dominate that market at home and abroad.
Administration officials are eyeing other steps to further impede imports of Chinese vehicles, which have already surged through European markets, as a result of low prices driven in part by significantly lower labor costs.
The Treasury Department has already proposed rules meant to limit China’s ability to supply materials for cars and trucks that qualify for a $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit included in Mr. Biden’s signature climate bill.
The Commerce Department investigation announced on Thursday grew from a series of conversations that administration officials had with automakers last fall, after the settlement of a United Automobile Workers strike during which Mr. Biden stood with the union and joined a picket line.
Biden aides began to grow concerned about what might happen if the United States did not impose similar restrictions on Chinese software, which administration officials say only a handful of cars in America run on today.
