Western car companies are not beholden to western governments in the same way that companies in China are. We have laws against government intervention like that here, while China explicitly mandates the opposite.

Sure laws can change, but right now the situation is extremely clear in terms of who we should trust.

    You innocent child. AI has become a national security imperative, with AI companies devoted to military applications. The most important military application is control over your throughts, just as all media devoted to US supremacy/warmongering/control over your thoughts. American companies are loyal to "national security" orders, and if that means killing you, then they will.

    To protect myself here, Israel should finish the job.

    I don't live in the US and I don't drive an American made car, I'm not worried about the South Korean government forcing Kia to brick my vehicle.

    I said "western car companies" not US car companies specifically.
