Experts said that at this stage, although L4 autonomous driving is being tested and operated in many places, these vehicles are not official license plates issued by the national public security department; they can only be used for testing and demonstration operations within specific regions. However, the L3 class conditional autonomous driving model approved this time will be able to obtain an official license and go on the road in the future. This is the difference between testing and piloting. The reporter also learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that since this year, the sales penetration rate of new passenger cars with combined driving assistance functions in China has exceeded 60%. Autonomous driving is getting closer to us, how can we maintain the safety bottom line? Guo Shougang, Deputy Director of the Equipment Industry Division I of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: We should vigorously explore security technology, support the rapid development of key technologies such as next-generation cybersecurity protection, lay out security encryption chip development and application, carry out system-level testing and verification of communication security, and comprehensively improve the safety level of intelligent connected vehicle vehicles and components. At the same time, product safety supervision will be strengthened, product access, recalls and online software upgrade management for intelligent connected vehicles will be strengthened, and the use of combined driver assistance systems will be standardized.
