Tesla cars banned from China's military complexes on security concerns -sources
The Chinese military has banned Tesla cars from entering its complexes, citing security concerns over cameras installed on the vehicles. The move is the latest sign of China’s growing scrutiny of the U.S. electric carmaker amid tensions with Washington.
Automakers have been equipping more vehicles with cameras and sensors that capture images of a car’s surroundings. Control of how those images are used and where they are sent and stored is a fast-emerging challenge for the industry and regulators around the world.
Tesla cars have several external cameras to assist drivers with parking, changing lanes and other features. Chief Executive Elon Musk has often spoken about the value of the data Tesla vehicles capture that can be used to develop autonomous driving.
