Connected car manufacturers are racing against the clock to meet a looming deadline that could significantly impact their global supply chains. As of next year, a growing number of countries are set to ban the use of Chinese-made hardware and software in connected vehicles due to national security concerns. Despite efforts to comply, some automakers and suppliers are still struggling to remove or replace Chinese components, raising questions about the feasibility of this ambitious plan. With the deadline fast approaching, the industry is bracing for potential disruptions and supply chain shocks that could have far-reaching consequences for consumers.
