Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar connected vehicles (vehicles with networked hardware and software that communicate wirelessly) from entering the United States if they are made or designed in North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran, or if their manufacturer is more than 15 percent owned or controlled by entities from those countries. Vehicles not meant for public roads and brought in only for testing by qualifying U.S. entities would be exempt. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, consulting with the Commerce Department, could allow specific vehicles in after a written risk assessment and a 60-day notice to Congress, during which Congress could block the authorization. The ban would take effect 30 days after implementing regulations, due within 90 days of enactment, are published.
