Ford Motor and other automakers are scrambling to obtain U.S. government authorization to continue selling models that have been in U.S. showrooms for years, but have recently come under fire as part of a ban on Chinese software in connected vehicles
Ford has asked the U.S. Commerce Department for authorization to continue importing its China-built Lincoln Nautilus SUV, the company confirmed to Reuters. The model is among a small handful of Chinese imports that automakers already had been selling in the U.S. prior to the government restrictions.
