Absolutely not. The cyber-risks have been well documented. Other countries that have allowed Chinese EVs into the market—Israel, Poland and the U.K.—have now put bans in place on the operation of these vehicles around government facilities and military facilities. Even China has put bans on American-owned Teslas driving in China. If China is doing that, it must be because they believe there is a cyber-risk. The idea that we could allow these vehicles to drive on our roads without any sort of conditions or guardrails around what is done with the data and where it goes is deeply concerning.
Just to be clear on this point, the government committed in 2024 to putting in place rules with respect to connected vehicle hardware and software, to align with the United States. That has not happened and this agreement has already been struck.
