Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act of 2026

Summary

The bill would stop any connected vehicle whose origin, design, or ownership ties exceed a 15% threshold to China, Russia, Iran or North Korea from being imported into the United States. An exception exists for vehicles used only for testing by U.S. entities that are not substantially owned by those countries. The measure aims to protect U.S. data, critical infrastructure, and national security from potential cyber‑risk posed by foreign‑linked smart cars.
