Automakers GM, Ford, Toyota and their partners in the Alliance for Automotive Innovation are urging Congress to impose a ban on Chinese vehicles, citing worries over connected software and hardware vulnerabilities. The coalition argues that Chinese manufacturers may embed backdoors or insecure components that threaten U.S. national security and consumer safety. They seek legislation that would restrict imports unless vehicles meet stringent cybersecurity standards, a move that could reshape the domestic auto market and spark a broader debate over supply chain resilience.
