The U.S. Commerce Department is set to propose banning Chinese software for autonomous and connected vehicles, specifically targeting Level 3 and higher automation systems. This proposal would also prohibit the testing of such Chinese-developed vehicles on U.S. roads. Additionally, the rule aims to restrict advanced wireless communications modules from Chinese sources, citing national security risks.
The U.S. government’s move reflects broader concerns about data security and technological influence from foreign entities, as it seeks to regulate connected technologies and safeguard national interests in the digital age.
