U.S. Aims To Ban Cars With Software, Hardware Links To China

• The U.S. Department of Commerce has proposed a ban on "the sale or import of connected vehicles" and their components from China and Russia.
• If finalized, the rule could effectively ban Chinese automakers in the U.S. entirely if their vehicles use connected technology.
• While the rule aims to protect "national security," it also protects automakers unable to keep up with China technologically.
