The Biden administration in the United States has announced that it will take measures against connected cars, which use Chinese technology, due to security concerns.
In the automotive industry, the use of connected cars, which can connect cars to the Internet and communicate with external sources to support driving and update software, is increasing.
On the 29th, the Biden administration announced that it would take measures against such vehicles, citing security concerns about vehicles that use Chinese technology.
According to the announcement, since cars are also connected to mobile phones and navigation systems, the driver's location information can be collected, and there is a risk that the car can be controlled remotely via the network.
For this reason, the government will conduct an investigation into the risks posed by connected cars, and will consider regulating the use of Chinese technology based on the results.
A senior Biden administration official has said that China is similarly restricting the use of American and other cars in its own country, emphasizing that this is a de facto countermeasure.
