🌐 US Enforces Ban on Automotive Technology Imports from China and Russia Amid Cybersecurity Concerns. The US Department of Commerce is implementing new regulations that prohibit the import of connected-vehicle technology from China and Russia, citing national security risks. This decision follows President Biden’s declaration of a national emergency due to overreliance on foreign technology. The regulations require automakers to eliminate hardware and software from these countries in their vehicle connectivity and automated driving systems by 2027 and 2030, respectively. Experts warn that this could significantly disrupt supply chains, as many automotive components are sourced from China. The transition to compliant suppliers may take years and could involve increased costs and adjustments in vehicle architecture.
