The Biden administration has finalized a ban on connected vehicle hardware and software from China and Russia, citing national security risks. This ruling could significantly impact the automotive industry, including major American car brands. The Department of Commerce emphasized that the ban aims to thwart potential cyber-espionage linked to these foreign adversaries. Concerns over Chinese spying tactics have escalated, reinforcing the government's vigilance against Chinese technology. This move marks one of Biden's last actions before leaving office, reflecting ongoing tensions between the US and China.
