The United States aims to restrict the influence of China and Russia in the supply chains for connected vehicles.

U.S. regulators announced a plan to ban connected vehicles with technology linked to China or Russia, aiming to enhance oversight of automotive supply chains. This ban targets hardware and software that could compromise sensitive data or allow remote vehicle control. The proposal specifies that it applies to on-road vehicles and outlines a phased implementation, with prohibitions on specific software starting in model year 2027 and hardware by 2030. Automakers will have time to adjust their supply chains and can request exceptions to ensure transparency and compliance.
