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 finalised 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. 

The administration also unveiled a long-awaited executive order on artificial intelligence, opening the door to leasing federal land for companies that agree to build massive AI data centres.
