U.S. could ban Chinese connected vehicles or impose restrictions

The Hindu  

The U.S. could take "extreme action" and ban Chinese connected vehicles or impose restrictions on them, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Wednesday, in the first indication a ban could be on the table after a national security investigation. "We could take extreme action, which is to say no Chinese connected vehicles in the United States or look for mitigation" including safeguards, guardrails or other requirements. The White House said in February the Commerce probe was being opened because vehicles "collect large amounts of sensitive data on their drivers and passengers regularly use their cameras and sensors to record detailed information on U.S. White House officials told reporters in February it was too early to say what action might be taken on connected Chinese vehicles. Senate Banking Committee Sherrod Brown said on Wednesday he had urged Commerce in a filing "to ban all Chinese internet-connected vehicles and smart vehicle technology that is designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied from China."
