    Do you have a phone in your pocket?

    If you do then congratulations. All of the data your car would collect is already out there for sale to the CCP.

    If you’re talking about people who have high level sensitive conversations in cars, then yes. But that’s an incredibly small group and they have those conversations in government vehicles that are all made in the US.

      Just because I already was backdoored without a lube by person A, doesn’t mean I’d love to be backdoored again by person B.

        It doesn’t make sense to bar an entire sector of EVs over it either though. Caring about it only when that country does it is the peak of bigotry and simping for the executives who would happily grind you down for profit.

          I’d prefer to be ground down for profit by greedy american pigs than be put in a concentration camp by the CCP.

            And how is the CCP going to put you in a camp in the US? You sound like conservatives who are afraid the UN will declare a peace keeping mission here.

                Europe isn’t banning Chinese cars. They stopped following our lead after the UK joined us in Iraq. Our paths go together many times but they come to that conclusion on their own.

                Obviously I don’t know what country you’re in but the US has 10 trillion dollars more than the Chinese to throw at the problem and we’ve long held the position that China doesn’t get to invade anyone.

      Yes, it runs grapheneos.

      Irrelevant.

      I’m talking about the mass deployment of spying devices across an entire country mapping every street running facial recognition collecting military related data. The idiot who buys the var who cares its everyone else.

        The data they can just scrape from Google maps? Hell they can see where soldiers are deployed because of their fitness apps sharing running routes on social media.

        This is black helicopter level conspiracy shit.

            They aren’t banned for the surrounding areas. They don’t want them on military bases or used by government/military officials.

            That’s kind of funny though, we have satellites. We know what their bases look like. Unless they drive their cars into the facilities we can’t get anything extra from their car.
