Polestar will no longer be allowed to sell new vehicles in the United States beginning with the 2027 model year after the Trump administration denied the Swedish electric-vehicle maker authorization under federal rules governing connected vehicle technology, according to Reuters.

The decision essentially blocks Polestar from introducing new models in the US market as Washington continues to express national security concerns over vehicles with technology tied to China.

Other automakers with Chinese ownership have sought different courses of action. Volvo Cars received authorization from the Commerce Department in May, though the automaker said it must continue demonstrating compliance across its US lineup.

    Cellular in cars as far as i know is mandated to have the sos function. Since 2015 as well. So that’s not gonna be an option if you want to sell cars in the eu.

    Now this regulation exists to make cars more profitable not necesarrily to make the cars safer but its still mandatory.
