Poland tightens access rules for vehicles at military sites

The Polish army has barred Chinese-made cars from entering military facilities and will also exclude any vehicle with location, video, or audio recording capabilities from secure areas unless those functions are disabled.
Poland tightens access rules for vehicles at military sites
Why it matters
The restriction immediately limits on-base access for personnel, contractors, and visitors using affected vehicles, forcing changes to transport, parking, and delivery procedures at secure sites. It creates a de facto compliance requirement for automakers and fleet operators to provide verifiable “sensor-off” modes if they need access to military premises. The move signals heightened operational scrutiny of connected-vehicle data collection around defense infrastructure, increasing the risk of similar access controls at other sensitive government locations.
