The unidentified international firm illegally conducted geographic mapping activities in the name of implementing autonomous driving research projects, China’s state security ministry said on Wednesday in a post on the popular social media platform WeChat. It was assisted through outsourcing the activities to a Chinese company that has a government license for geographic surveying and mapping, according to the post. Mobileye, which has partnered with Chinese automakers including Geely-owned Zeekr and state-owned FAW Group, followed suit immediately. On the same day, China’s Alibaba Cloud and Didi also said they had nothing to do with the incident. China has for years required automakers and self-driving car developers to secure licenses or use authorized companies for mapping data used in vehicles.
