The risk that Canadian data collected by connected vehicles are accessed and exploited increases when these data are sent to — or transit through — foreign jurisdictions with more permissive data management frameworks

A valid concern! Why not consider the same thing for vehicles from other jurisdictions?

The Chinese government has shown their intention to try to use any technology that they can to advance their own goals... [and] that would include using Chinese EVs to collect data that they could be compelled back in China to use for whatever purposes they feel.

Terrible! But also very^1^, very^2^ familiar^3^.

In 2017, the Chinese government passed its National Intelligence Law, which requires any Chinese companies to comply with state orders to hand over any information.

So, just like the American CLOUD Act? And Bill C-22 right here in Canada?

Sounds like it isn't a problem with Chinese EVs, but instead it's a problem with Canada's approach to privacy.

Tesla has been doing this since 2012, even watching you with the car cameras. But when it's USA we are ok with it.

So are you burying your phone as well?

I was using a Chinese model with a custom ROM until the US banned sales of that brand (Free market strikes again smh), these days I'm using a OnePlus (Western hardware, but more niche) with a custom ROM.
