The US Commerce Department on Monday will propose a ban on the sale or import of smart vehicles that use specific Chinese or Russian technology because of national security concerns, according to US officials.

A US government investigation that began in February found a range of national security risks from embedded software and hardware from China and Russia in US vehicles, including the possibility of remote sabotage by hacking and the collection of personal data on drivers, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo told reporters Sunday in a conference call.

“In extreme situations, a foreign adversary could shut down or take control of all their vehicles operating in the United States, all at the same time, causing crashes (or) blocking roads,” she said.

Can we can smart cars entirely? Every addition in the past five years has been awful

Just wait for subscriptions to become the new normal. GPS for $4, smart services for another $10. They’re basically going down the mobile games standards for enshittification.

My dad got a car in 2011. It has gps. He has to pay a premium to update that, and roads get changed surprisingly often. This is by no means new!

Hell, OnStar has been a thing since 1996. My dad's 2005 Buick had it.

I had a car from 2012, Ford. Built in GPS. Cost of upgrading? About $200 in Denmark.

Incidentally my car is also from 2011. It has no GPS, so much cheaper for me to use navigation. Less integrated though. Which is of course why they can charge so much for new maps.

Wow my car generates crypto for Ford while I drive that's just great I really feel the benefit also it tells me that climate change isn't real so I don't even feel bad for driving everywhere

No no they're just starting to put ✨AI✨ in them!

Don't forget ads in the screens!

I think that you could do all sorts of wonderful things with a car computer.

I just don't like a number of things that auto manufacturers have actually been doing with them.

And I'd like the car computer to be replaceable and upgradeable and preferably have the life-critical hardware separate from the non-life-critical hardware.

Agreed. I want a thermal camera that detects deer. Instead I get seat warmer subscriptions
