Congress finds the following: (1) LiDAR technologies are critical to the successful development and deployment of autonomous vehicles, defense systems, critical infrastructure, robotic systems, and advanced manufacturing systems, as well as other important emerging innovations. (2) The Chinese Communist Party seeks to dominate LiDAR technologies, which are critical not only for military advancements, but to the People's Republic of China's broader efforts to undermine the national security of the United States. (3) Foreign adversary dominance of LiDAR technologies, and the widespread use of such technologies in the United States, creates profound opportunities for such adversaries to engage in espionage, technical compromise, and the disruption of sensitive supply chains, presenting an unacceptable threat to our Nation's security.
