Trump rolls back fuel economy rules
Original: Trump rolls back fuel economy rules; hacking the connected car
The Trump administration is moving to roll back US fuel economy standards, easing emissions and efficiency requirements for automakers. The policy shift is being reported alongside growing concern over cybersecurity in connected vehicles, as cars become increasingly software-dependent and vulnerable to hacking. The rollback is likely to reignite debate between industry groups welcoming looser rules and environmental advocates warning of higher emissions and fuel consumption.
Why now: A major regulatory reversal affecting the auto industry and emissions policy is drawing attention alongside rising concerns about connected-car security.
