US to ban Russian, Chinese software and hardware in vehicles

The United States is going to ban Russian and Chinese software in vehicles, according to the Department of Commerce, due to national security concerns.

This type of foreign software ban in American cars, makes sense.

Many modern cars have Internet uplinks, and sensors, that can be used to
find out information about American citizens.

Unfortunately, American car manufacturers (and the makers of hardware with
embedded software) continue to pretend that being hooked up to the Internet,
is a completely safe thing.

Computer Science grads have warned for decades, that a lot of this software
controlled hardware is unsafe (because it could be hacked). But, no one has
been listening.
