At the press of a button, all of those Chinese smart cars will transform to robot mode and form the AI-PLA! They’ll then promptly repair and upgrade all of the USA’s shithole-tier infrastructure, distribute educational tools and pamphlets across the US working class to give them class consciousness, and then promptly turn back into cars so that the US proletariat have the mobility needed to effectively organise.
The security risk is US auto makers having competition.

Ugh, I want an affordable tiny electric smart car. US is always a buzzkill.
You will have a coal-powered SUV that falls apart after 5 years and you will like it
Okay but like if I could actually have a coal powered SUV I would because steam engines are neat as hell. I want a Thomas the tank engine monster truck now.
They’re called steam traction engines.
Omg they are exactly as cool as I was hoping!
It’s either that or that low poly muskmobile began disintegrating even before it was put together
China is already the largest exporter of cars and they are pretty much banned from the US market except for US-branded cars like the Buick Envision. There’s the whole rest of the world where China can undercut and possibly annihilate US and European makers.
So theyre confirming that American tech spies on us.
It’s not as if we didn’t know this. PRISM has only grown in the 10 years since it was leaked.
Now we have credible allegations that macOS is designed to spy on you and Windows’ spying is beyond obvious at this point
I’m conflicted on how I feel about this. On one hand, protectionist slows down the deindustrialization of America, which is bad. On the other hand, it hampers American competitiveness and innovation.
On the other hand, it hampers American competitiveness and innovation.
Mildly disagree with this. Protectionism alone does not hamper innovation. For example, China’s protectionism against American tech companies like Amazon and Facebook didn’t do so because there was a complimentary policy in place to help develop alternatives. If America is never going to invest in electric cars properly, their automobile industry is not going to keep up, protected or not.
Called it in another post about this.
… Just ignore how GM, Ford, Tesla and others are spying on Americans… they are doing it for Uncle Sam so its fine
risk of finding out the cars are smarter than then
