    US bans smart cars with Chinese and Russian tech

    What's the story

    The Joe Biden administration has given a nod to a rule banning new personal smart cars with Chinese and Russian technology, from being driven on American roads.

    The move comes as a response to possible national security threats.

    The rule particularly focuses on vehicles installed with internet-connected devices that could mine sensitive information or allow foreign adversaries to control cars remotely.

    Security threats

    US Commerce Department outlines security risks

    The rule was announced by the US Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security today.

    It said that technologies from China and Russia "present an undue and unacceptable risk to US national security."

    The department raised concerns over modern vehicles with internet-connected devices, comparing them to computers that could potentially collect sensitive data about drivers or owners, violating consumer privacy.

    Regulatory details

    New rule targets specific components

    The new regulation prohibits the import or sale of connected vehicles with certain hardware or software components having a "sufficient nexus" to China or Russia.

    It also prohibits manufacturers with ties to these countries from selling US-made vehicles in the country.

    The rule applies only to passenger vehicles weighing 4,536kg or less and will come into effect as early as model year 2027.

    Upcoming measures

    Future plans for commercial vehicles

    The Commerce Department has said it plans to start a separate process targeting commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks.

    However, the finalization of these restrictions will be left to the incoming administration.

    This move comes as part of the Biden administration's efforts to tackle key China-related issues before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office on January 20.
