Connected vehicles rule: vehicle connectivity systems and automated driving systems with a China or Russia nexus (15 CFR part 791, subpart D)

Prohibits importing vehicle connectivity system hardware, and importing or selling connected vehicles that run vehicle connectivity or automated driving system software, designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of China or Russia; a manufacturer with that nexus may not sell connected vehicles in the United States at all. The stated risk is compelled data sharing and remote access to vehicles on US roads. If one subcomponent of an automated driving system is supplied from that nexus, the whole software suite is treated as such. Importers and manufacturers file annual Declarations of Conformity with recordkeeping; specific and general authorizations and advisory opinions are available.

Status in force from March 17, 2025; software prohibitions from model year 2027; hardware prohibitions from model year 2030 (January 1, 2029 for units without a model year); vehicles over 10,000 lb to be addressed in a later rule
