The Biden administration is investigating Chinese-made "smart cars" for potential national security risks, concerned that these vehicles could collect sensitive data on American drivers, which might be exploited for espionage or cyberattacks.
Although not imposing a ban, the administration is considering new regulations to prevent the misuse of technology in electric and connected vehicles from China, addressing fears that these cars could be remotely controlled or used to gather extensive personal and biometric data.
The Commerce Department plans to initiate an investigation into the security threats posed by these vehicles, seeking input from the auto industry and the public to formulate regulatory measures, mainly focusing on technology from China and other adversarial nations.
