US eyeing new rules to keep Chinese software out of cars


The US-vs-China trade conflict continues.

The new rules come as the Biden administration ramps up its scrutiny of Chinese auto imports, in an effort to prevent the country from flooding the market with cheap electric vehicles. While speaking at a forum in Colorado, Alan Estevez, who serves as Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security, said that the department would propose rules that would require certain vehicle software be made in the US or by its trade partners. The rules would stem from an investigation launched earlier this year by the Commerce Department into connected vehicle software produced in China and other nations that are considered antagonistic to the US.
