The Biden administration has proposed a ban on the use and testing of connected vehicle software and equipment from China and Russia.The rule includes any systems that connect a vehicle to the outside world, such as through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular data. It also notably includes "automated driving systems" (ADS). Software 'Creates Opportunities To Collect and Exploit Sensitive Information'The U.S. Department of Commerce found that software in modern vehicles, which can help drivers with navigation and parking safely, also "creates opportunities to collect and exploit sensitive information," the White House said. Russia and China present "particularly acute threats," including using vehicle software for surveillance and sabotage, the administration added.
