Automakers GM, Ford, Toyota and others, through the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, have urged Congress to impose a ban on Chinese vehicles linked to concerns over connected software and hardware. The group argues that the technology used in these cars could pose national security risks, citing potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by foreign actors. They are calling for legislation that would restrict the import of vehicles containing certain Chinese-made components, aiming to protect U.S. infrastructure and consumer data. The proposal comes amid growing scrutiny of supply chain dependencies and heightened tensions between the U.S. and China over technology access.
