Overview

  • The proposed ban targets Chinese software and hardware in internet-connected and autonomous vehicles, citing national security risks.
  • The rules would apply to all vehicles on U.S. public roads, including trucks and buses, but exclude agricultural and mining vehicles.
  • The Biden administration's move follows previous measures like 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and denying subsidies for vehicles with Chinese components.
  • Canada is considering similar regulations, reflecting a coordinated North American stance against Chinese automotive technology.
  • Chinese officials have condemned the proposal as protectionist and warned of potential retaliatory measures impacting U.S. businesses in China.
