Prohibit the importation, manufacture, and sale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China.
Occurrences
These companies should not be allowed to do business in America, and their products shouldn’t be in our cars or threatening our infrastructure.
Evidence
The bill text says the proposal would prohibit the importation, manufacture, sale, and resale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China or other foreign adversaries, and would bar Chinese vehicles and connected components from the U.S. market.
The article says the Biden-era connected-vehicle rule remains in force and that some lawmakers are still pushing stricter legislation that could permanently ban Chinese vehicles, indicating the issue remains active rather than resolved by a new final statute.
Assessments
Moolenaar appears to have materially backed legislation that directly matches the promise by seeking to ban the importation, manufacture, and sale of connected vehicles and related software or hardware tied to China or other foreign adversaries. But the evidence indicates this remained a proposed legislative effort rather than an enacted federal prohibition, while related connected-vehicle restrictions were still being handled through existing Biden-era administrative rules. Because the candidate made a serious, concrete same-term push but the promised full outcome was not yet completed in law and the issue remained active, the promise is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered.
