This bill prohibits the operation of certain connected vehicles on Department of Defense property, including military bases and other military installations. The Secretary of Defense must create and annually review a list of prohibited vehicles that are designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by foreign entities of concern and pose undue or unacceptable risks to national security. A "connected vehicle" is defined as any car or truck with networked technology that communicates wirelessly, including features like GPS, remote access, software updates, and connections to transportation systems. The term "foreign entity of concern" references existing definitions in defense law and includes entities owned or controlled by hostile foreign governments. The bill applies to both personal and commercial vehicles and does not specify funding or implementation timelines beyond the annual review requirement.
