Yes, but I'd much rather have the company controlling the official switch not be directly under the control of China.

The US is only marginally better right now, but they have less incentive to do it and less control of their car companies.

A vulnerability was found this year in an undisclosed major car manufacture in the USA that gave total control to an attacker over all vehicles sold by that manufacture's dealerships. Remote start/shutoff, unlock doors, GPS tracking, even transferring the ownership to another person. All modern vehicles are a security nightmare, the chinese are no better, no worse. https://eaton-works.com/2025/10/13/def-con-33/

They are worse, because the Chinese government has direct access to an official kill switch if they want it.

Just because there can be other problems doesn't make that any less of a problem
