Another bill backed by Senator Tammy Baldwin has taken a step towards becoming law.
The Connected Vehicle Security Act passed through the Senate Commerce Committee, and will now go before the full Senate.
The measure aims to prevent Americans’ data from being collected on American roads and sent back to Beijing by cutting off the supply of vehicles, software, and critical hardware originating from China or Chinese companies.
Specifically, the Connected Vehicle Security Act bans foreign adversary vehicles by prohibiting the importation, manufacture, sale, and resale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China or other foreign adversaries and empowers the Department of Commerce to identify and block high-risk vehicle technologies, components, and transactions.
