New Regulations for Foreign Technology in Vehicles
The Biden administration has implemented comprehensive regulations banning the use of Chinese and Russian software and hardware in connected vehicles, effective from model years 2027 and 2030, respectively. These regulations address national security concerns, aiming to protect critical infrastructure from potential risks associated with foreign technologies in modern smart cars. Key components targeted include vehicle connectivity systems and automated driving technologies found in passenger vehicles under £10,000. The decision reflects heightened apprehensions regarding data security, remote manipulation, and vulnerabilities in the supply chain, as modern vehicles are essentially high-tech devices equipped with various internet-connected technologies.
