Chinese-made cars aren’t just cheap; they’re rolling data collection devices. They map where you go, who you see, and what’s around our critical infrastructure, and hand that data to a foremost adversary. Congress must act to keep CCP-connected vehicles off American roads.

BURNED PARTS, HIGHER REPAIR BILLS, AND A NEW ERA OF DRIVER MONITORING A wave of fires at salvage yards and auto-parts facilities is raising new questions for every American who depends on an older car. Since late May, more than a dozen such fires have been reported nationwide, including major blazes in Florida, New Mexico, and Connecticut. There is no evidence these incidents are connected, but each fire destroys used parts that millions of drivers rely on to keep their vehicles running. That matters because Americans buy roughly 35 to 40 million used vehicles each year, compared with about 16 million new ones. For families priced out of new cars, affordable replacement parts are not optional. They are what keeps a vehicle on the road. If salvage inventory shrinks, repair costs rise and owning an older car becomes even harder. At the same time, new vehicles are becoming far more capable of monitoring their drivers. In 2021, Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which directed regulators to develop impaired-driving prevention technology, including systems that can passively evaluate driver behavior. Cameras and sensors can track eye movement, attention, facial cues, and vehicle behavior to determine whether someone may be impaired. Who controls these kill switch systems? Who can access the data? How long is it stored? And what happens when technology sold as a safety tool can also track and assess a driver’s behavior? Americans depend on used cars and used parts, while new cars are becoming more expensive, more connected, and more surveilled. That makes the fires worth investigating. The Mel K Show joins me to unpack.
