US President Joe Biden announced “unprecedented actions to ensure that cars on US roads from countries of concern like China do not undermine our national security.” He asked the Commerce Department to launch an advanced rulemaking (ANPRM) on connected vehicles with technology from those countries and to take action to respond to the risks.
ANPRM notes that China likely represents the broadest, most active, and most persistent cyber espionage threat to the US government and private networks. Experts suggest this risk of espionage poses a more significant Chinese threat to the rapidly emerging market of connected vehicles (CVs) than outright damaging attacks.

Any society that values privacy should favor products (especially mobile network connected ones) produced in states and countries with strong privacy laws. Local laws can and should address this at import time.
I’m a big fan of certain popular American car manufacturers, so I hope the State of Michigan will up it’s legislative game before my favorite muscle car makers lose too much International traction.
