Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in May the risks of Chinese software or hardware in connected US vehicles were significant. “You can imagine the most catastrophic outcome theoretically if you had a couple million cars on the road and the software were disabled,” she reportedly said.
The Commerce Department plans to provide a 30-day public comment period before finalizing the rules. The proposed prohibitions would extend to vehicles with certain Bluetooth, satellite, and wireless features, as well as highly autonomous vehicles capable of operating without a human driver.
The move is expected to face opposition from the automotive industry, which has warned that changing hardware and software in vehicles. While there are relatively few Chinese-made light-duty vehicles imported into the US, the proposed regulation would have broader implications for the security of the connected vehicle supply chain.
A trade group representing major automakers including General Motors, Toyota Motor, Volkswagen, Hyundai and others had reportedly warned that changing hardware and software would take time and is costly. The carmakers noted that their systems “undergo extensive pre-production engineering, testing, and validation processes and, in general, cannot be easily swapped with systems or components from a different supplier.”
