The White House announced on Sept. 23 a proposed ban on connected vehicle technologies in the United States from “countries of concern,” particularly communist China, citing a national security threat.
Connected vehicle technology refers to short-range communications that enable cars to “sense” nearby objects and exchange information with other nearby vehicles. It includes Bluetooth, cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi modules, and automated driving systems.
These technologies, which are meant to promote safety, now pose “new and growing threats,” according to the White House.
“These technologies include computer systems that control vehicle movement and collect sensitive driver and passenger data as well as cameras and sensors that enable automated driving systems and record detailed information about American infrastructure,” the White House announcement reads.
