US to ban Chinese tech in cars

The US is planning to ban certain hardware and software made in China and Russia from cars, trucks and buses in the US due to security risks.

Officials said they were worried that the technology in question, used for autonomous driving and to connect cars to other networks, could allow enemies to "remotely manipulate cars on American roads".

There is currently minimal use of Chinese or Russia-made software in American cars.

But Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said the plans were "targeted, proactive" steps to protect the US.

"Cars today have cameras, microphones, GPS tracking, and other technologies connected to the internet," she said in a statement.

"It doesn't take much imagination to understand how a foreign adversary with access to this information could pose a serious risk to both our national security and the privacy of US citizens."

Chinese officials said the US was broadening "the concept of national security" to unfairly target Chinese firms.

This reeks of trade protectionism by the U.S. government, under the guise of national security, more than anything else. I daresay that people living in the U.S. are far more likely to be spied on by their own government than any foreign government.
