The government isn’t messing around with this legislation. I’ve had to deal with it firsthand - they want to know exactly where your electronics and software are being sourced from. China is a no no.
I’d argue, imo, this is as much about having an electronic backdoor to a safety-critical device as it is the ability to scrape data. We’ve seen hacks in the past being able to take over vehicle control, those were unintentionally feasible - imagine the tools being in place deliberately to do so?
Seems in line with recent actions limiting Chinese routers.
So, you're saying Thelma and Louise were murdered?
