Modern cars have a variety of cameras and sensors that they need for their driver assistance systems. They use this to collect data and sometimes communicate with each other. This is exactly what the US government is concerned about: it fears that this data will fall into the wrong hands. The Chinese Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Cui Dongsho, secretary general of the China Industry Association, said that if you look at all vehicles with smart sensors, it is unfair to target the cars from a particular country and impose restrictions.
