The US Commerce Department argues that banning Chinese and Russian vehicle tech is crucial for national security, preventing potential remote interference with American vehicles.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo emphasized the risks: 'Imagine if there were thousands or hundreds of thousands of Chinese-connected vehicles on American roads that could be immediately and simultaneously disabled by somebody in Beijing.'
Waymo remains optimistic about its partnership with Zeekr, asserting that their vehicles won't be impacted due to American ownership of the connected tech onboard.
Waymo argues that the Zeekr vehicles are just 'base vehicles', devoid of any systems that could enable communication with their Chinese manufacturer.
