Honestly I'm not sure, am I safer if I'm being tracked by an American company / government over being tracked by a Chinese government?This website is filled with dream sheet wish list requests for the CT. Some realistic today, some not. But make a request that the FSD "brain" not be manufactured in China, and it's met with more cynicism then most other requests.
Maybe I should have phrased the opening post differently.
I'm not asking what is possible today...nor do I think is Tesla. I'm asking what direction do we want to go? I'll concede it will be more expensive if produced in the U.S. But it's one part of an optional add on, to a $50k - $80k truck.
The gist of my question is if given the choice, and given equal quality product, would you rather have the "brain" made in China or the US?
Snowden raised so serious concerns about what the US does on tracking and the US also imprisons without charges some people ( terrorists), assassinates without convictions (also terrorists overseas). How hard would it be for the US government to make look like I'm a terrorist and disappear me?
Facebook and Google track my online activity then use AI to manipulate my thoughts so that they can sell my attention (see social dilemma on netflix) to any bidder including foreign advisories who would like to foment civil war.
So am I in more danger if the Chinese install nefarious software? So far the Chinese haven't done anything to me, indeed they have done less to me than my own government and domestic corporations have done.
Will they? I don't know.
