US to ban Chinese connected car software and hardware, citing security risks
Briefly

In an extreme situation, a foreign adversary could shut down or take control of all their vehicles operating in the United States all at the same time, causing crashes, blocking roads. This kind of threat is no longer a fictional concept but a pressing concern as connected vehicles have become an integral part of modern transportation, increasing the stakes of foreign control over automotive technology.
When foreign adversaries build software to make a vehicle connected, that means it can be used for surveillance, can be remotely controlled, which threatens the privacy and safety of Americans on the road. These concerns are a driving factor behind the legislation being explored by the U.S. government to safeguard against potential security risks posed by foreign vehicle technologies.
