U.S. plans ban on Chinese software and hardware in vehicles

The U.S. government plans to ban key Chinese software and hardware in connected vehicles, citing national security concerns. This move would effectively prevent Chinese cars from entering the U.S. market and requires American automakers to remove Chinese components over time. The Biden administration has already imposed high tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and components, with Canada considering similar actions. Both countries aim to strengthen their domestic EV manufacturing and supply chains while addressing security risks associated with foreign technology. The proposed regulations are still pending finalization, and automakers have expressed concerns about the time needed to adapt to these changes. The U.S. is acting proactively to prevent potential security threats from foreign-made vehicle technology.
