This bill would ban the import, manufacture, sale, and distribution of internet-connected vehicles and their key software and hardware components if they come from or are significantly controlled by China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran. The ban on vehicles and software would start January 1, 2027, and the ban on hardware would start January 1, 2030. Older hardware could still be imported for repairs and warranty work under a limited exception.
This bill primarily affects automakers, auto parts suppliers, importers, and dealers. Consumers could also be affected indirectly if fewer vehicles and car technologies become available to buy in the U.S.
Companies that want to sell connected vehicles or related parts would need to file a formal certification with the government confirming their products follow these rules. If they do not comply, they face serious financial penalties.
