The Department of Commerce of the United States has put forward a preliminary proposal to ban the import of cars that have software connecting to external systems from China and Russia, citing security reasons. If approved, this proposal will have legal implications moving forward.
This directive is seen to have a significant impact on cars produced by Chinese manufacturers, as software controls are included in these conditions. Even though currently there are not many Chinese-made cars running in America, the proposal would affect them.
If this directive becomes legal, it will start affecting car models from the year 2027 onwards and have hardware implications by 2030.
