Biden administration proposes ban on Chinese parts in connected vehicles

The Biden administration has proposed a ban on Chinese and Russian software and hardware in internet-connected vehicles. This could lead to a significant restriction on the sale of Chinese vehicles in the U.S. market. The Commerce Department aims to protect U.S. drivers and technology from foreign threats. The proposal follows previous tariffs on Chinese electric cars and components, reflecting ongoing efforts to limit Chinese technology in the U.S. Public comments on the proposal will be accepted for 30 days. If enacted, the ban would affect software in cars starting from model year 2027 and hardware from model year 2030.
