The Commerce Department announced on Monday its intention to ban the sale of connected and autonomous vehicles in the U.S. that are equipped with Chinese and Russian software and hardware. The goal is to safeguard national security and protect American drivers.
While Chinese and Russian software presence in the U.S. is minimal, the issue is more complex for hardware components. The proposed ban on software is set to take effect for the 2027 model year, while the ban on hardware is scheduled for the 2030 model year or January 1, 2029, for units without a designated model year.
