Just now, CCTV News exposed that a foreign company carried out illegal surveying and mapping under the guise of intelligent driving research.

Company A is a contractor for a key sensitive project in a certain country. According to the Surveying and Mapping Law of the People's Republic of China, it does not have the qualification to independently carry out surveying and mapping activities in China. To evade the supervision of China's industry regulatory authorities, the company outsourced the project multiple times under the pretext of intelligent driving research and ultimately entrusted domestic Company B, which has surveying and mapping qualifications, to implement it specifically. Driven by the temptation of economic benefits, Company B has completely become a puppet of Company A, and its surveying and mapping qualifications have also played a role in concealing Company A's illegal acquisition of surveying and mapping data within China.

So which company is it? The comment section has opened up a detective game. Domestic contractor Company B has surveying and mapping qualifications and can also engage in intelligent driving. Could it be XX? Why is there suspicion on Geekcar? Everyone suspects that the client is Israel's Mobileye, which was used in Geekcar's old intelligent driving solution.

Is it just a coincidence? Forced into a corner, Yang Xueliang from Geekcar quickly responded: "It has nothing to do with Geekcar, nor was it done by Geekcar's partners. Rumors stop with the wise."

As everyone knows, the listing of Didi in the United States once attracted widespread attention and discussion. As a major ride-hailing platform in China, Didi holds massive amounts of user travel data, geographic information, and other critical information. Its low-key listing in the United States on June 30, 2021, aroused high vigilance from relevant national departments.

Although Didi denied handing over data to the United States, this incident made people realize that if the data held by large internet companies is poorly managed or misused, it could pose significant potential risks to national security. If this data falls into the hands of foreign forces, they can analyze users' travel patterns and frequently visited locations to infer key information about China's population distribution, transportation hubs, and important facilities, posing serious threats to China's territorial security, military security, and more. Therefore, domestic enterprises must take on their responsibilities and not be swayed by short-term profits.
