EU Lawmakers Push for Security Review of BYD Cars

Original: EU lawmakers push for bloc to assess security threat from BYD cars

Members of the European Parliament are calling on the European Union to formally assess whether vehicles made by Chinese automaker BYD pose a security risk. The push comes amid wider European scrutiny of Chinese technology and connected-car data, and follows similar debates in the United States over Chinese-made vehicles and components. The move could affect BYD's expanding presence in the European market, where it has been growing sales and building local production.

Why now: Growing political concern in Europe over Chinese connected-car technology and data security has put BYD under scrutiny.
