On February 29, US President Joe Biden announced “unprecedented actions to ensure that cars on US roads from countries of concern like China do not undermine our national security.” He asked the Commerce Department to launch an advanced rulemaking (ANPRM) on connected vehicles with technology from those countries and to take action to respond to the risks.
In its ANPRM, the Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) said it is considering proposing rules prohibiting certain kinds of information and communications technology and services (ICTS) and transactions by anyone subject to the jurisdiction or direction of selected foreign governments. These governments include China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (PRC), Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela.
