Biden administration imposes new China curbs with AI order, smart car ban

The Biden administration is rolling out measures to bolster US automotive manufacturing and artificial intelligence development, as it looks to sharpen curbs on Chinese technology and tee up potential restrictions for Donald Trump, to enact.

A rule was finalized on Tuesday that effectively bans new, personal smart cars from China and Russia and US officials announced that they intend to launch an inquiry to expand those restrictions to commercial vehicles like buses and trucks.
