The Biden administration is proposing a ban on Chinese- and Russian-made software in Internet-connected vehicles in the United States, citing national security concerns.
The proposed ban announced by the White House on Monday is intended to protect cars that can communicate externally, providing a way for US adversaries to access and collect data and remotely manipulate cars on US roads.
“Cars today have cameras, microphones, GPS tracking and other technologies connected to the Internet. It doesn’t take much imagination to understand how a foreign adversary with access to this information could pose a serious risk to both our national security and the privacy of American citizens “, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement.
