The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.

The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.

Mexico has 36M cars currently on the road. I would be more worried if I was an American selling into the Mexican market

Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Rep. Haley Stevens recently introduced the Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act, which aims to ban connected cars built or designed in China, as well as other adversarial countries like Russia and Iran, from entering the U.S.

Love a bipartisan commitment to bad economic policy

ban connected cars

Does that mean that unconnected Chinese cars are OK? Talk about a win-win... just pull the SIM / antenna.

"Protect us from Chinese cars", fuck these dipshits. Have they ever considered protecting us from crushing poverty or environmental collapse? "OH MUH GOD ITS A CHINA CAR!! TAKE COVER!!!"

connected cars built or designed in China

Only the ones from China though. Every other car going forward will be "connected". That's not the thing they're worried about though.
