Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Bingo. A threat to national security == a threat to American industry titans. The article even states that non-Chinese EVs are required to use Chinese software in China. So pull an uno reverse on them, requiring foreign EVs to run domestic software here in the states. All this does is preserve the status quo for the heads of American industry and their shareholders.
EV adoption would be more wide spread here in the US if the damn things were affordable. As of now, they're presented as a luxury upgrade, or the environmentally responsible thing to do if you can afford it. You would still have the "Buy American®" crowd that will only go with the big 3 because patriotism, but it'll begin getting us on the right track and away from emissions. But nope, let's keep coddling our 100 year old auto industry that fails to innovate and keeps producing crap.
Not quite regarding security. It's not as simple as software. You can add a compromising software layer but you can't make it safe through software if the chips are soft.
The Chinese chips in the cars can be designed to be hacked from afar to turn them into espionage machines.
And when you connect your phone to the onboard system, now your phone gets jacked.
It's nightmare fuel for security.
