"Biden Launches Probe into Chinese Smart Cars' National Security Risks"
The Biden administration has initiated an investigation into Chinese-made "smart cars" over potential national security risks, citing concerns about data collection and the possibility of remote manipulation by foreign adversaries. The probe could lead to new regulations aimed at preventing China from using advanced technology in electric and connected vehicles to track drivers and their personal information. The Commerce Department will seek input from the auto industry and the public to assess the risks and potential steps to mitigate them, with a focus on vehicles from China, Russia, and Iran. This action is part of broader efforts to protect Americans' personal data from foreign cyber threats, and comes amid concerns about the growing influence of Chinese automakers in the global market.
