最高法明确辅助驾驶系统不能代替驾驶人成为驾驶主体，责任仍在人

Core Viewpoint - The Supreme People's Court of China has released its first guiding cases on criminal liability related to road traffic safety, addressing issues arising from the use of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and clarifying the legal responsibilities of drivers when using such technologies [1][3]. Group 1: Legal Clarifications - Guiding Case No. 271 clarifies that activating an ADAS does not transfer driving responsibility from the driver to the system; the driver remains responsible for ensuring safety while using the system [1][3]. - The case specifies that if a driver uses illegal devices to evade monitoring by the ADAS, they are still considered the driver and must bear legal responsibility, even if not physically controlling the vehicle [1][3]. Group 2: Case Details - The case involved an individual, Wang Mouqun, who drove under the influence and activated the ADAS while using an illegal device to avoid system monitoring, resulting in a legal ruling against him for dangerous driving [2][3]. - Wang Mouqun had prior knowledge of the risks associated with using the ADAS after consuming alcohol, yet he chose to install a device that simulated hand contact with the steering wheel to bypass safety measures [2][3]. Group 3: Impact on Traffic Safety - The release of these guiding cases aims to resolve disputes in the judicial practice of traffic safety criminal cases, standardize legal applications, and enhance the efficiency of handling such cases [3]. - Data from 2025 indicates a general improvement in road traffic safety, with a decrease in both the total number of accidents and serious incidents, as well as a reduction in the number of criminal cases related to traffic offenses [3].
