Biden administration proposes ban on Chinese and Russian car parts

The Biden administration has proposed a ban on the sale and import of car parts made in China and Russia. This rule targets hardware and software for connected vehicles, which can communicate through various systems. Officials highlight concerns about foreign interference in these vehicles, which could lead to security risks. The Commerce Department emphasizes that this action is focused solely on national security, not trade issues. U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stated that the threat posed by connected vehicles is significant. The proposed ban aims to enhance security against potential hacking threats.
