"Poland's Ministry of Defence has banned Chinese cars - and any others include tech to record position, images, or sound - from entering protected military facilities. A Tuesday announcement from the country's Ministry of Defence says the decision came after risk analysis of the potential for the many gadgets built into modern cars to allow "uncontrolled acquisition and use of data.""
"The ban also prohibits officials connecting their work phones to infotainment systems in China-made cars. The ban isn't permanent: the Ministry has called for development of a vetting process to allow carmakers to undergo a security assessment that, if passed, will mean their vehicles can enter protected facilities. Exemptions are also available for inspections carried out by state and local governments, and during rescues."

The ban follows a risk analysis of modern cars' many built-in gadgets and the potential for uncontrolled acquisition and use of data. Officials are also prohibited from connecting work phones to infotainment systems in China-made cars. The ban is not permanent: a vetting process and security assessment framework is requested, with exemptions for inspections by state and local governments and during rescues. The move is presented as aligned with NATO and echoes other countries' restrictions and concerns about data and compelled co-operation by foreign vendors.
