Rep. Elissa Slotkin, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Michigan's 7th district, has expressed concerns regarding Mexico's potential partnerships with Chinese connected vehicle companies. Her remarks highlight national security issues and bipartisan concerns over data transmission risks associated with these vehicles.
On December 3, 2024, Rep. Slotkin tweeted that "Mexico should think twice about partnering with Chinese connected vehicle companies – and not just because of the incoming administration." She emphasized the importance of reconsidering such partnerships in light of broader implications.
In another tweet on the same day, she warned that "Chinese connected vehicles that can gather and transmit data on drivers, critical infrastructure and more are a risk to the U.S. and Mexico." Slotkin noted that there would be bipartisan concern if Mexico did not address these issues.
Further highlighting national security stakes, Slotkin mentioned in her tweets that "As over 20 House and Senate Democrats made clear in October, there are significant national security stakes as well." This underscores ongoing discussions within Congress regarding potential threats posed by foreign technology partnerships.
