United States to ban Chinese, Russian software (starting with Model Year 2027), hardware (MY2030) in connected road vehicles on US roads. On January 14, Department of Commerce issued final rule that will prohibit sale and import of hardware and software systems (automated/autonomous driving systems/ADS, vehicle connectivity systems/VCS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular and satellite connectivity) of connected passenger cars (not yet commercial vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds/4.5 tons), as well as completed connected cars from China and Russia. This is result of investigation that President Joe Biden's administration launched in February 2024 to ensure that automotive supply chains are resilient and secure from foreign adversary cyber threats (espionage, hacking attacks). Beyond risks to critical infrastructure, Department of Commerce assesses that certain hardware and software used in connected vehicles could enable mass collection of sensitive information, including geolocation data, audio and video recordings, and other pattern-of-life analysis. In developing this rule, Department consulted with industry to ensure any actions maximally protect US national security, while minimizing unintended consequences or disruptions to market, White House added
