Group 1 - The core concept of "Intelligent Driving Insurance" (智驾险) is emerging as a response to the growing concerns of car owners regarding liability in accidents involving advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) [1][3][4] - Several electric vehicle manufacturers, such as Xpeng Motors and Xiaomi, are offering "Intelligent Driving Insurance" as a supplementary service, which provides compensation in case of accidents while using their autonomous driving features [2][4][5] - The current state of autonomous driving technology is primarily at Level 2 (L2), with Level 3 (L3) still under development, leading to complex liability issues that require further legal and policy refinement [1][7][8] Group 2 - The "Intelligent Driving Insurance" is not classified as a true insurance product, as it is not officially registered with regulatory bodies and is primarily a liability coverage option provided by car manufacturers [3][4][5] - Car manufacturers are responsible for compensation under these plans, which often require customers to first purchase traditional insurance products before being eligible for the supplementary coverage [4][6] - The insurance companies involved are primarily providing data and risk assessment support, rather than directly handling claims, which raises questions about the transparency and regulatory compliance of these offerings [6][8][9] Group 3 - The development of "Intelligent Driving Insurance" is seen as a potential catalyst for enhancing consumer trust in autonomous driving technologies and promoting their adoption [5][8] - Industry experts highlight the need for clearer regulations and standards to define the boundaries and relationships between "Intelligent Driving Insurance" and existing insurance products to avoid overlaps and disputes [8][9] - Future developments may see the emergence of dedicated insurance products for intelligent driving, particularly from manufacturers with their own insurance subsidiaries, as the technology and regulatory landscape evolves [9]

Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of intelligent connected vehicles has reached the L3 stage of human-machine co-driving, necessitating the establishment of regulations to ensure safety and facilitate the application of new technologies in China [1][2]. Group 1: Technological Progress - The technology has advanced to the human-machine co-driving stage, with some technologies nearing maturity. In highway conditions, the NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) technology has transitioned from "usable" to "well usable," allowing drivers to "let go" of the steering wheel under good conditions [1]. Group 2: Need for Regulations - There are currently no global regulations for the human-machine co-driving stage. Germany has set limited conditions for allowing drivers to let go of the steering wheel, but these conditions are rarely met and do not effectively guide automotive innovation. The lack of clear rules creates a chaotic situation where drivers may misuse automated driving technologies [2]. Group 3: Initial Rule Development - While comprehensive rules for human-machine co-driving cannot yet be fully defined, preliminary rules can be established. For instance, allowing the use of intelligent driving systems under clear visibility, well-marked lanes, and when the driver's attention is focused. External cameras and sensors can monitor road conditions, while internal cameras can assess the driver's state [3]. Group 4: Government's Role - Given that China is at the forefront of this technology, government authorities should take the lead in establishing these rules. The innovation in the automotive industry requires not only technological advancements from companies but also regulatory innovations from the government [4]. Group 5: Industry Response to Regulations - Following the government's crackdown on excessive promotion by companies, two extreme attitudes have emerged in the industry: some companies continue to exaggerate their capabilities, while others hesitate to adopt new technologies. The government should establish clear regulations to ensure safety while promoting the development of intelligent driving technologies [4].
