The US government is effectively banning Chinese-made cars from its roads. Some in Australia want the government to take notice
‘Some’ Australians are using America’s protection of their domestic auto manufacturing industry as an excuse to ban Chinese EVs, blaming cyber security concerns.
Maybe instead of banning China’s EVs we should just be trying to get some more EVs here before we cut our market down. We don’t have half the supply of Europe, because our regulations do nothing to incentivise any car makers.

Yes. Ban them so we’re all forced to buy overpriced camrys and i30s.

Had to laugh when I heard one of the reasons was “they could use the cars cameras to get footage of infrastructure”. Have y’all seen google maps? Why would they spend their own money when google is taking photos of everything for them.
