US Proposes Ban on Chinese and Russian Car Tech Over Security Risks

The Commerce Department's new rule aims to prevent potential surveillance and control threats from foreign-made connected vehicle systems.

Overview

  • The proposed rule would ban the import and sale of connected vehicle technology from Chinese and Russian manufacturers.
  • If enacted, the software ban would start in 2027, with hardware restrictions beginning in 2030.
  • The rule targets technologies that could allow foreign adversaries to spy on or remotely control vehicles in the US.
  • US automakers and suppliers who rely on Chinese hardware may face significant supply chain challenges.
  • The Commerce Department is inviting public comments on the proposed rule for 30 days before finalizing it.
