The Commerce Department announced a ban on sales of connected and autonomous vehicles in the U.S. with Chinese and Russian software and hardware to protect national security.
Replacing hardware requires complex engineering, which is why the hardware prohibition will start in model year 2030, compared to software in 2027.
Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo highlighted the risks posed by connected cars, indicating that foreign adversaries could potentially take control of multiple vehicles.
Raimondo emphasized that the action is strictly for national security, not trade, noting the limited presence of Chinese and Russian cars in the U.S. currently.
