Core Viewpoint - The current "smart driving" systems in vehicles are still in the assisted driving phase and do not achieve full automation, making the driver the primary responsible party for road safety [1][2][5]. Group 1: Legal Responsibilities and Risks - Drivers who take their hands off the wheel or divert their attention (e.g., using a phone) face administrative penalties, including warnings, fines, and points deduction [2][4]. - The existing legal framework emphasizes that the driver remains the core responsible party, and there is no legal exemption for drivers due to the presence of smart driving systems [2][5]. - If such behaviors lead to traffic accidents, drivers may incur civil liabilities, including repair costs, medical expenses, and compensation for injuries or fatalities [5]. Group 2: Regulatory and Legislative Developments - The Ministry of Public Security plans to collaborate with relevant departments to refine the legal framework surrounding assisted driving systems, aiming to clarify the legal attributes of Level 0 to Level 2 systems [6]. - There is a need for improved safety standards and operational guidelines for assisted driving systems, which should be included in driver education and training [6][10]. - The current lack of unified national standards for data storage and extraction from vehicle event data recorders (EDR) complicates the determination of accident responsibility [7]. Group 3: Industry Responsibilities and User Education - Automotive companies are urged to fulfill their responsibilities by conducting thorough testing of assisted driving systems and clearly communicating their functionalities and limitations to users [10][11]. - Companies must enhance user training to ensure that new users understand how to properly use assisted driving features and the associated risks [10][11]. - The industry is witnessing a shift, with traditional automakers accelerating the adoption of Level 2+ systems while new entrants focus on advancing to Level 3 and Level 4 systems [11].
