Biden blocking cars?


Recommended Posts

I'm planning to purchase a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus soon. Now I'm reading that there are those who want to BAN all vehicles that have technology made in China!  The dealer says "FORD LINCOLN  will back all their cars.  Not reassuring. Any advice?

No problem of you already own one.  Any ban would only apply to new sales.  And it’s not just Biden or Harris.  Trump would likely do the same or similar.

Canada is considering similar action.  Would basically apply to any Chinese designed hardware or software, but no specific legislation has been introduced.  If implemented would likely require auto manufacturers to supply N.A. sourced modules to the Chinese plants with the embedded software already on them or reflash completely with software before being cleared by customs.  Ford will basically respond that it already controls the software and that the vehicles are no different than any iPhone that is made in China with regard to control of hardware and software.
