Biden has ordered a U.S. investigation into potential national security risks posed by Chinese-made "smart cars" or connected vehicles. Officials are concerned these vehicles, which gather large amounts of driver data, could be used by China to effectively spy on Americans. The data and features like driver assistance could also potentially be remotely accessed or manipulated by hackers. Few Chinese cars are currently imported due to high tariffs, but officials worry that may change as China seeks to dominate the EV market.
