Eventually the US auto market will be eaten alive. Lower cost vehicles cannibalize US manufacturers revenue and their business model requires large revenues, even when profits are low or nill.
The reason to be concerned is Chinese vehicles are equipped with all the sensors necessary for a distributed spy network. I don’t think there’s any way to guarantee data stays in the US. Chevy, Ford, etc will use this for reason to not change, given the government has an interest in keeping out Chinese vehicles.

Such bullshit. You’re buying into exactly what the American propaganda bubble wants you to believe. The US is now pretty much the only country in the world banning Chinese EV’s.
It has been proven that there is no distributed spy network. Unlike the kill switch in the F35 which is why most European countries are moving away from any American tech. Talk about spyware.
But please keep buying outdated American combustion cars with no innovation. Or Teslas that don’t even pass the basic safety tests in Europe and can’t be sold anywhere outside the US. I’m loving my Xiaomi SU7, just like Ford CEO who refuses to give it up.
