Senior commanders in the Polish Army have issued new rules preventing vehicles manufactured in China from entering protected military facilities due to information security concerns, an army spokesperson announced Tuesday. The instruction to commanders to keep affected cars outside of secured perimeters comes amid growing concerns over motor vehicle network equipment and supply chains that routinely record location and other data. Vehicle Connectivity Systems with ties to China or Russia have been banned from being sold in the United States, even if manufactured domestically. Electric vehicles with Chinese components have also been banned from British military sites. A spokesperson for the Polish Army said the country’s move followed a military risk assessment focused on the way modern cars’ sensors and software could be used to collect sensitive information.
