Connected Vehicle National Security Review Act

# Connected Vehicle National Security Review Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require a national security review of connected vehicles—cars and trucks that communicate wirelessly with other vehicles, infrastructure, or networks. The legislation aims to assess potential cybersecurity and national security risks posed by these connected vehicle technologies before they become widespread on American roads. **Who It Affects:** The bill would impact vehicle manufacturers, technology companies developing connected vehicle systems, and potentially consumers who own or purchase connected vehicles. It could also affect government agencies responsible for transportation and national security. **Key Provisions:** While specific details weren't provided, bills of this type typically establish a review process to examine how connected vehicles handle data, their vulnerability to hacking, foreign ownership or control of related companies, and whether these technologies pose risks to critical infrastructure or national security.

The review would likely inform future regulations or standards for the industry. **Current Status:** As of now, S 2040 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It has not advanced to become law.
