Core Viewpoint - The introduction of a mandatory national standard for L2-level advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in China is aimed at enhancing safety and regulating the industry, addressing existing issues related to misleading marketing and safety concerns [1][2][5]. Group 1: Regulatory Developments - A mandatory national standard for L2-level ADAS is being proposed, which will include general technical requirements and safety measures for vehicles equipped with such systems [2]. - The project is initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and is expected to be completed by March 2024, with public consultation from June to July 2025 [2]. - The standard aims to improve product safety, reduce accidents caused by performance defects, and support industry management [2]. Group 2: Industry Context - As of the first half of 2023, 42.4% of new passenger cars in China were equipped with L2-level ADAS, with the proportion rising to 55.3% in the new energy vehicle segment for the entire year [5]. - The rapid increase in ADAS penetration has led to safety concerns, particularly due to misleading advertising practices by some manufacturers [5][6]. - Recent incidents, such as a fatal collision involving Xiaomi's vehicle, have heightened public scrutiny and prompted regulatory actions to curb exaggerated claims about ADAS capabilities [5]. Group 3: Industry Response - The MIIT has initiated measures to regulate the marketing of intelligent driving technologies, emphasizing the need for accurate representation of system capabilities [5][6]. - A joint initiative by several automotive companies has been launched to promote responsible marketing practices and to participate in the development of industry standards [6]. - The implementation of the mandatory standard is expected to drive the industry towards a dual focus on technology and compliance, potentially accelerating discussions around the legislative process for L3-level autonomous driving [6].
