U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday proposed a new regulation that would ban the circulation of two types of vehicles manufactured with technology related to China and Russia: connected vehicles, which communicate with other cars or infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles, which drive without a driver, virtually all new passenger cars on the market.
The measure responds to national security concernsbecause there are fears that Chinese and Russian companies will gain access to driver and infrastructure data in the United States and could even remotely control these vehicles cause accidents or block roads, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a telephone news conference.
