US plans to ban Chinese software and hardware in connected vehicles

Financial Times September 23, 2024, 02:00 PM UTC

Summary: The US Commerce Department has proposed banning Chinese software and hardware in vehicles with internet connections. This move aims to prevent data collection on American drivers and reduce the risk of foreign manipulation of connected cars.

The proposed rule would effectively bar Chinese vehicles from the US market, following increased tariffs on Chinese imports. It also includes a ban on Russian software and hardware, addressing potential national security threats.

The rule is set to take effect in phases, with software bans starting in the 2027 model year and hardware bans in 2029 or 2030. The Commerce Department is also exploring similar actions in other industries, such as drones and cloud infrastructure.
