A group of European Parliament members has requested the European Commission to assess potential cybersecurity threats posed by Chinese automaker BYD. They are concerned about the implications of allowing connected vehicles from third countries access to sensitive European infrastructure. The U.S. military has already banned BYD vehicles from a base in Japan due to security risks. BYD denies any security breaches and claims that user data remains under their control. However, the initiative highlights existing measures in countries like Poland and the UK to restrict access to Chinese vehicles. The economic implications include limiting BYD's access to strategic infrastructure and public procurement processes, despite the company's established presence in Europe.
