Latest action on S. 2040: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies that build, sell, supply, or support connected vehicles in the United States. Automakers and suppliers could have to check where their hardware, software, data tools, and service partners come from. Technology and telecom companies could face reviews if their products connect vehicles to networks or handle vehicle data. Companies tied to named foreign countries or blacklisted entities could see deals restricted, licensed, changed, or blocked.
Why this matters: Connected vehicles can collect data, communicate with networks, and sometimes support remote features. The bill tries to reduce the risk that foreign-linked technology could expose data, disrupt vehicles, or affect critical systems. It also could raise costs or slow deals for companies that use global supply chains. Some legal fights may be harder because challenges must go to one court and some evidence can stay secret.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
