The U.S. Department of Commerce is proposing a ban on connected vehicles using software and hardware from China or Russia. This includes Vehicle Connectivity System and Automated Driving System components, to prevent potential security and privacy risks. The ban aims to secure the automotive supply chain and will come into effect in 2027 for software and 2030 for hardware.
Key takeaways from the meeting notes:
– The U.S. Department of Commerce is proposing a ban on the import or sale of connected vehicles that integrate software and hardware made by foreign adversaries, specifically those from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Russia.
– The ban targets hardware and software integrated into the Vehicle Connectivity System (VCS) and software integrated into the Automated Driving System (ADS) in connected vehicles.
– The proposed rule aims to prevent nefarious access to critical systems that could lead to the harvesting of sensitive data and remote manipulation of cars, particularly those on American roads.
– The ban extends to all wheeled on-road vehicles, excluding agricultural and mining vehicles.
– The import and sale of vehicles with certain VCS or ADS hardware or software with connections to China or Russia will be prohibited.
– The ban will take effect for Model Year 2027 for software and Model Year 2030 (or January 1, 2029 for units without a model year) for hardware.
– The White House has expressed the move as necessary to ensure the resilience and security of U.S. automotive supply chains against foreign threats, given the increasing connectivity of vehicles to U.S. digital networks.
