Biden Administration Proposes Ban on Chinese, Russian Tech in Connected Vehicles Over Security Concerns Starting 2027

Sep 23, 2024, 01:21 PM

The Biden administration has proposed new rules to ban Chinese- and Russian-made hardware and software in connected and autonomous vehicles on American roads, citing national security concerns. The U.S. Commerce Department, along with the Bureau of Industry and Security, is expected to reveal these proposed rules as soon as Monday. The ban is intended to prevent potential spying and sabotage by foreign adversaries. The proposed regulations would take effect for 2027 model year vehicles for software and 2030 for hardware. This move could effectively bar nearly all Chinese-made cars from entering the U.S. market, impacting companies like General Motors and Ford, and has already affected Chinese electric vehicle stocks. The initiative is part of a broader effort to secure the supply chain for connected vehicles against foreign threats.
