“We all understand that with the economy the way it is in the United States that people are looking for cheaper cars,” Slotkin said. “People are really, really pressed right now from every direction, and the one thing that had come down in price over the past year was gas, and now that’s spiked up because of the war.”

“But as leaders, we have a responsibility to say, ‘Look, this is a driving surveillance package, it’s like TikTok on wheels,” she added. “We all understand the price constraints, but we have a responsibility to protect people’s security.”

I couldn't find anything about Slotkin criticizing the plan to roll out spyware in American made cars though. How strange.
