ISLAMABAD: China has opened a public consultation on proposed safety requirements for driving assistance systems, aiming to enhance vehicle safety and regulate emerging automotive technologies.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is inviting feedback from industry experts, companies, and the general public until July 4.
This move reflects China’s growing focus on improving standards for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as these technologies become more widespread.
Draft Safety Requirements and Key Contributors
The draft safety requirements were developed with contributions from major players in the automotive and technology sectors, including Dongfeng Motor and Huawei.
These guidelines aim to establish a framework ensuring that driving assistance technologies meet rigorous safety standards before being deployed on Chinese roads.
The standards will cover various aspects such as system reliability, performance, and risk management to safeguard drivers and pedestrians alike.
Importance for China’s Automotive Industry
As China rapidly advances its electric and smart vehicle markets, clear safety regulations are critical for supporting innovation while protecting public safety.
Public participation in the consultation process allows stakeholders to contribute valuable insights, helping to shape effective and balanced policies.
The final standards are expected to guide manufacturers and tech firms in designing safer driving assistance systems that align with national goals for smart transportation.
