Connected Vehicle Security: Reviewing Foreign Technology Supply Chains for National Safety

This Act establishes a new office within the Department of Commerce to review transactions involving technology used in modern connected vehicles. The goal is to prevent risks of sabotage, espionage, or subversion if components originate from jurisdictions of concern, such as China or Russia. For citizens, this means enhanced security for their vehicles and critical infrastructure by eliminating risky foreign technology from the supply chain.
Key points
A new government office is created to monitor whether technology in cars (like wireless communication systems) poses an undue risk to national security.
The government gains the power to block or impose strict conditions (e.g., cybersecurity standards) on transactions involving vehicle components sourced from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
Severe criminal and civil penalties, including large fines (up to $1 million) and imprisonment (up to 20 years), are established for violating prohibitions on using unsafe vehicle technology.
