Tue Sep 24 04:09:46 UTC 2024: ## US to Ban Cars with Chinese Software Over National Security Concerns
**Washington, D.C.** – The Biden administration announced plans to ban cars with software developed in China, citing national security concerns. This move effectively eliminates the “my car was hacked” excuse for speeding tickets, as the ban targets vehicles potentially vulnerable to foreign influence.
The Commerce Department, in a statement yesterday, said the proposed rule would “prohibit the importation of vehicles that use software developed in China, due to the potential for malicious actors to exploit these systems.”
The administration has expressed concerns about the potential for Chinese software to be used for espionage or to disrupt critical infrastructure. While the proposed ban is subject to public comment, the administration is confident it will be implemented.
This move comes amid growing tensions between the US and China over technology and national security. The ban is expected to impact several major car manufacturers who source software from Chinese companies.
Industry experts predict the ban will likely lead to increased costs for consumers and could disrupt the global automotive supply chain. However, the administration insists that the security of the nation outweighs these potential drawbacks.
