A US government investigation that began in February found a range of national security risks from embedded software and hardware from China and Russia in US vehicles.

The US Commerce Department will propose a ban on the sale or import of smart vehicles that use specific Chinese or Russian technology because of national security concerns.The rule would not apply to cars already on the road in the US that already have Chinese software installed, a senior administration official told CNN. The software ban would take effect for vehicles for "model year" 2027 and the hardware ban for "model year" 2030, according to the Commerce Department.
The Chinese government has its own concerns about the data gathered by Tesla vehicles, and some Chinese government authorities have barred the vehicles from entering their compounds, CNN has previously reported. "If or Russia, for example, could collect data on where the driver lives or what school their kids go to, where doctor is, that's data that would leave that American vulnerable," she said.
The Chinese government has denied US allegations that its hackers have embedded in US infrastructure.
