New #US rules ban #Chinesesoftware in #connectedvehicles starting March 17. Automakers must certify their systems are free of Chinese code, covering infotainment, cameras, and driver-assistance systems. Hardware restrictions follow in 2029. The ban targets #nationalsecurity risks from vehicle sensors and data collection capabilities. https://www.webpronews.com/purging-the-code-inside-the-auto-industrys-frantic-race-to-untangle-chinese-software-before-the-clock-runs-out/?eicker.news #China #Tech #ChinaTech #Technews

Purging the Code: Inside the Auto Industry’s Frantic Race to Untangle Chinese Software Before the Clock Runs Out

U.S. regulations banning Chinese software in connected vehicles by March 17 are forcing automakers to audit complex supply chains, restructure corporate relationships, and find domestic alternatives—testing America's ability to decouple from Chinese tech dependencies across the auto industry.

#Poland Institute of Eastern Studies (OSW) published a very interesting report on national security threats introduced by “smart cars”… from the perspective of #China - the report is now published in Polish, the English version usually follows, so I will just translate short excerpts - it’s just web page, so automatic translate should work like a charm if you want to read it full.

Why I like the report? Because it explicitly says what Chinese security services consider to be the threat from foreign cars like Tesla:

Chinese state authorities point to smart cars as a fundamental threat to national security. They emphasise the risk of state secrets being leaked, data on critical infrastructure and military installations being collected, and sensitive information about the functioning of the economy and society being transferred abroad. The main risks include: increased vulnerability to cyberattacks (for example, remote hijacking of cars or disruption of their sensors could lead to land traffic disasters), vehicles collecting sensitive data about the car’s surroundings (e.g. critical infrastructure) and from inside the car (e.g. conversations or biometric data of the driver and passengers). Chinese regulators also point to the risk of knowledge derived from the analysis of data sets from millions of cars leaking abroad, enabling, for example, the determination of traffic intensity around military units, the estimation of economic activity levels, or the mass scanning and recognition of passers-by’s faces.

What’s their response? Strict regulation that imposes ban on sending telemetry abroad, local certification where manufacturer needs to reveal what and where they send, geofencing of the car movements in restricted areas (!).

I don’t think you to be extremely imaginative to see that precisely the same national security challenges are present in any Chinese smart car imported to Europe. And not only car, but any online device such as PV inverter, network appliance and a million of others.

EU Member States are now implementing #NIS2 and, very conveniently, the threats and their responses so nicely catalogued by Chinese security can be literally quoted in response to shut down any arguments raised by the very Chinese importers into EU who already start complaining about “overregulation”. Just quote their own security services, they won’t be able to argue with them 😄

What do connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) mean in terms of driving? Can they all share the same roads with less-automated vehicles? What are their infrastructure implications? And what about roadway safety? What's an autonomous vehicle? What's the difference between ADAS and ADS? 🤔🚗🤖
