The Commerce Department plans to issue proposed rules on Chinese-made internet-connected vehicles in August, and some car software will face restrictions from the regulations, according to a senior official.

“We’re looking at a few components and some software, not the whole car, but it would be some of the key driver components of the vehicle that manage the software and manage the data around that car that would have to be made in an allied country,” Alan Estevez, undersecretary of Commerce for Industry and Security, said at “The China Challenge” forum in Colorado on July 16.
