U.S. Industry Group Calls for Sales Ban on Chinese ‘Connected’ Vehicles

An American industry group has urged Congress to pass legislation permanently barring Chinese carmakers from selling connected vehicles, hardware and software in the U.S., citing data security risks.

The push aims to codify existing federal sales restrictions on China-made cars, reflecting anxieties within the $1.5 trillion U.S. auto industry over China’s rapid global expansion in the sector.
