BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WILL INVESTIGATE NATIONAL SECURITY RISKS POSED BY CHINESE-MADE 'SMART CARS'
Techlife News
|March 02, 2024
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 cars 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.
“China is determined to dominate the future of the auto market, including by using unfair practices,’’ Biden said in a statement Thursday. “China’s policies could flood our market with its vehicles, posing risks to our national security. I’m not going to let that happen on my watch.’’
Biden and other officials noted that China has imposed wide-ranging restrictions on American autos and other foreign vehicles.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said connected cars “are like smartphones on wheels” and pose a serious national security risk.
