To require a briefing on the national security threats associated with 
   Chinese autonomous ground vehicles operating in the United States.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. BRIEFING ON NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS ASSOCIATED WITH 
              CHINESE AUTONOMOUS GROUND VEHICLES OPERATING IN THE 
              UNITED STATES.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense, acting through Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy and in coordination with the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisitions and Sustainment and other United 
States Government agencies as appropriate, to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the 
Senate not later than March 30, 2024, on the national security threats 
associated with Chinese autonomous ground vehicles operating in the 
United States, especially those with access to or operating in the 
vicinity of Department of Defense military bases and installations and 
other sensitive United States Government facilities, and potentially 
sharing geospatial and other data with the Chinese Communist Party 
(CCP).
    (b) Matters To Be Included.--The briefing required by subsection 
(a) should include the type of data that can be collected, the dual-use 
implications of autonomous ground vehicle technologies and their 
enabling factors, and how the CCP or People's Liberation Army could 
potentially use the data it collects in the United States to support 
its military operational planning.
