A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has introduced legislation that would ban Chinese-made vehicles, auto parts and connected vehicle software from the American market over national security concerns.
The proposal, known as the Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026, would prohibit the import, sale, manufacture and resale of vehicles and related technologies originating from China or other countries designated as foreign adversaries. The bill also targets software systems and connected components used in modern internet-enabled vehicles.
