Summary
- The Biden administration is proposing a ban on Chinese- and Russian-made hardware and software in internet-connected vehicles in the United States due to national security concerns.
- The ban is aimed at safeguarding cars that can communicate externally, to prevent U.S. adversaries from accessing, collecting data, and remotely manipulating American vehicles.
- Connected vehicles are identified as a potential threat due to the large amount of information they collect through sensors and cameras.
- Prohibitions on Chinese and Russian software will take effect for the 2027 model year, while prohibitions on hardware will apply starting from the 2030 model year.
