U.S. to Propose Ban on Chinese and Russian Software in Connected Cars

The U.S. Department of Commerce plans to announce proposed rules to ban Chinese and Russian devices and software in connected cars, starting Monday, due to security concerns.
The ban aligns with the Biden administration’s efforts to prevent China and Russia from infiltrating or tracking vehicles through software developed by their companies.
The department has met with industry experts to discuss security issues related to smart cars, focusing on prohibiting the use and testing of technology related to automated driving systems and vehicle communications while also including some hardware.
