🚨Can US really ban Chinese HW and SW in vehicles? The Biden administration is proposing a ban on Chinese software and hardware in connected and autonomous vehicles in the U.S., citing national security concerns over data collection and potential foreign manipulation. My take on this: 🧱 I cannot imagine how this will work. TO build a car, thousands of employees are involved on the OEM side, but also on the hundreds of suppliers. But that is not it, there are multiple tool vendors, 3rd party consultants, testing labs, infrastructure providers all involved in getting a new vehicle to market. How will they realistically enforce this ban? 🧱 The nationalities of all the people involved is also at question here. What if there is a Chinese national working on a vehicle but they are situated in the EU 🧱 The ban comes into effect starting 2027. Isn’t that ample amount of time to plant SW and malicious utilities in vehicles until then? 🧱 Closing the doors on Chinese manufacturers in the US domestic market does really ensure that they are safe from the proposed threat, while millions of consumer devices are being used in the US that is still manufactured in China. 🧱 There is the other side of the coin too. What is prompting US for such a restriction: The United States' response comes as a reaction to China's restrictions on foreign technologies like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto within its domestic market. 🧱 China enforces strict regulations on foreign technologies involving data transmission and user data collection, citing national security and privacy concerns. As a result, the Chinese market favors domestic alternatives such as Baidu CarLife, Tencent's TAI, and Huawei HiCar. 🧱 China is able to do it due to the autonomy they have over the Chinese Supply Chain 🧱 In a way this will force other countries to get their act together and to really invest in bringing supply chains local to their market instead of relying on China.

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation (Auto Innovators) recently sent 15 pages of comments to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) in response to proposed rules that would ban Chinese and Russian connected vehicle technology in the U.S. Read the report at: https://lnkd.in/dbzqq8Hj “The comments reiterate the auto industry’s commitment to U.S. national security and the shared goals of the rulemaking; and express support for a rule that mitigates unacceptable risks associated with information and communications technology and services (ICTS) designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by foreign adversaries in connected vehicles in the U.S.,” an Auto Innovators press release on the comments says. The BIS published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on Sept. 23 outlining proposed rules to address national security risks associated with information and communications technology and services (ICTS) integral to connected vehicles designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of China and Russia. A comment period was open until Oct. 28. The BIS is expected to finalize the rules and publish them in the Federal Register. The rule limits the ban to Vehicle Connectivity Systems (VCS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS). Manufacturers and importers would be given until the 2027 model year to comply with software and the 2030 model year for hardware.  Exemptions exist for vehicles produced prior to those deadlines. Auto Innovators tells the BIS in its comments that there are areas within the proposed rule where adjustments or clarifications could further facilitate implementation for OEMs. #China #USA #ExtremaRatio #Espionage

How wonderful to catch up with the COO of a major European automotive bank and a good friend of Deeper Blue over the years this morning on a call. Interestingly, the discussion touched on the critical need to give consumers compelling reasons to opt in to share their data, a topic that's been central to many projects for us in the last 5 years or so.

Companies, experts decry US crackdown on Chinese auto tech as ‘national security abuse’ BYD showcases the intelligent parking features of its models in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on Jan 16. CHINA DAILY BEIJING - Chinese companies and experts have criticized the growing protectionism and abuse of "national security" that underscore the US government's latest plan to rid the country's vehicles of Chinese technology and components. The US Commerce Department this week proposed banning the use of Chinese and Russian-developed software and hardware on autonomous and internet-connected vehicles, citing "national security" concerns. Many Chinese automobile firms say such concerns are groundless and camouflage the Biden administration's resorting to political means to knock out Chinese firms that outcompete their US peers. "It is another example of the United States abusing the concept of national security to hamstring China's technological advances," said Hua Xianping, chairman of Wuxi Checheng Zhilian Technology Co Ltd, which focuses on intelligent vehicle networking. "This not only goes against the principles of the market economy and fair competition, but also undermines the stability of global industrial chains," he said. Industry observers said that in self-driving technologies, while US companies take the lead in AI algorithms and chips, their Chinese counterparts score higher in sensors and laser radar. China's mature industrial chains also help lower the production costs and increase the market appeal of related products. A spokesperson for a Hubei-based new energy vehicle company said the United States has a record of restricting vehicle imports from Japan and the Republic of Korea at times when US carmakers struggled in the domestic market. "The United States really needs to focus more on improving the competitiveness of its auto industry, rather than creating barriers for foreign competitors, because ultimately this will harm the global auto industry," she said. Lyu Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that following the 100-percent duty on Chinese electric vehicles, the proposed ban reveals the US government's propensity to use tariff and non-tariff barriers to shield its domestic capacity. The restrictive measures come at a time when US companies struggle to find direction in the realm of autonomous driving and electric vehicles, Lyu said, referring to Apple's decision to scrap its plan to release an autonomous electric vehicle and suspicions around Tesla's Full Self-Driving feature. "The latest move is undoubtedly intended to win time for US companies to catch up in technology," he said. "But it will backfire and trigger opposition from even the companies it tries to protect." The modern automotive industry is built on global cooperation, and a car's software and hardware come from across the globe, Hua explained, adding that a unilateral ban will lead to technological a

The Commerce Department is proposing a ban on Chinese software and hardware in connected and autonomous vehicles operating on U.S. roads, citing national security concerns. The Biden administration has expressed significant concerns regarding the potential for Chinese companies to gather data on U.S. drivers and infrastructure. Additionally, there are fears that internet-connected vehicles could be vulnerable to manipulation by foreign governments. "Cars today have cameras, microphones, GPS tracking, and other technologies connected to the internet," U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in a statement. "It doesn't take much imagination to understand how a foreign adversary with access to this information could pose a serious risk to both our national security and the privacy of U.S. citizens." The proposed rule would prohibit the import and sale of vehicles with certain hardware or software tied to China or Russia. It applies to systems that allow cars to connect to the internet, including telematics control units, Bluetooth, cellular, satellite, and Wi-Fi modules. It also applies to assisted driving systems in connected vehicles. The amount of Chinese software in cars on American roadways today is "limited," according to a senior administration official. Companies would have until 2027 to change their supply chains. The bottom line: It's an escalation of U.S. restrictions on Chinese imports, which already includes a 100% tariff on imported electric vehicles from China.
