IT Home reported on August 5 that according to Reuters, the US government plans to propose a proposal in the coming weeks to ban the use of Chinese software in self-driving cars.


The report cited unidentified sources as saying that the Biden administration plans to propose a new rule.Prohibit vehicles equipped with L3 and above autonomous driving systems from using Chinese software, which will effectively prohibit Chinese self-branded cars from conducting road tests in the United StatesThe move was reportedly due to national security concerns, with the U.S. government concerned that smart cars using Chinese software could collect sensitive data about U.S. citizens and infrastructure and transmit it back to China.

also,The United States also plans to ban cars from being equipped with advanced wireless communication systems developed by ChinaThe proposal requires automakers and suppliers to ensure that all of their connected vehicle and advanced self-driving car software is not developed in a “foreign entity of concern” such as China.

A Commerce Department spokesman said the department was "concerned about the national security risks associated with networking technologies in connected cars."

IT Home noted that the United States has imposed tariffs of more than 100% on Chinese-made electric vehicles, and the Biden administration's clean energy bill has also made it more difficult for automakers to use Chinese-made batteries. The restrictions on Chinese autonomous driving software further demonstrate the United States' vigilance and suppression of Chinese technology.
