Biden calls out China and Russia as threats to America's roadways


The White House bluntly identified China and Russia by name as threats to American roads and drivers this week. 

Specifically, the brief highlighted a proposed rule change within the Department of Commerce set to ban all sale and import of ‘connected’ vehicles from these two countries, as well as components and hardware made within them even if used in other carmaker’s products.

A shadow ban on all Chinese cars?

The list of to-be-outlawed technology and components is extensive. While the full report can be found on the Department of Commerce notice, the breakdown by the White House highlighted systems which could control or correct vehicle movement, any data collection on driver and/or passengers, all cameras, sensors, autonomous driving software, and anything which could record and/or send information about American infrastructure.
