The United States may introduce a ban to restrict the use of Chinese software in self-driving cars

According to news on August 5, recent reports indicate that the US government is brewing a new policy and plans to propose a proposal to ban the use of Chinese software in self-driving cars in the next few weeks. If the proposal is passed, it will have a profound impact on the field of autonomous driving. According to relevant sources, the Biden administration intends to introduce a new regulation aimed at prohibiting vehicles equipped with L3 and above autonomous driving systems from using software from China. This move not only means that China's own brand cars will not be able to conduct road tests in the United States, but also shows the United States' concerns about the national security risks that smart cars may bring. Specifically, the U.S. government is concerned that smart cars equipped with Chinese software could collect and transmit sensitive data about U.S. citizens and critical infrastructure.

In addition to restrictions on self-driving software, the US government also plans to ban cars from being equipped with advanced wireless communication systems developed in China.

Under the proposal requirements, automakers and suppliers must ensure that none of their connected car and advanced autonomous vehicle software is developed in a "foreign entity of concern" such as China. This move will undoubtedly further aggravate tensions in the Sino-US science and technology field.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Commerce stated that they are paying close attention to the national security risks associated with connected technologies in connected cars.

At the same time, the United States has imposed tariffs of more than 100% on Chinese-made electric vehicles and made it more difficult for automakers to use Chinese-produced batteries through the Biden administration’s Clean Energy Act. -->
