    Ah yes, because electric vehicles collect so much more data than your standard vehicles, they essentially are the same thing just different engine. Ever look at the data OnStar collects even apperently without an account? Ever look at the privacy policy the infotainment system has you agree to once or twice a month? it’s scary.

    how about just pass legislation that a foreign country cannot collect data on a vehicle in the US if we are that scared of it

        The backdoors were inserted for law enforcement use into carrier equipment like base stations, antennas and switching gear, the Journal said, with US officials reportedly alleging they were designed to be accessible by Huawei.

        There’s a basic principle here that I think the US doesn’t understand: there is no such thing as a backdoor only for one group. Any equipment with backdoors is inherently insecure. The US dug their own grave and they’re blaming Huawei for selling the shovels.
