It was a device that raised a variety of security concerns. Canada proposed a <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-safety-canada\/news\/2024\/02\/federal-action-on-combatting-auto-theft.html\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-safety-canada\/news\/2024\/02\/federal-action-on-combatting-auto-theft.html&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-safety-canada\/news\/2024\/02\/federal-action-on-combatting-auto-theft.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ban on the device<\/a> out of fear that it might enable car thefts.
