China Tightens Grip on Assisted Driving Systems

In a move to enhance road safety, China's public security ministry announced on Wednesday that it will join forces with the industry ministry and other regulatory bodies to enforce stricter controls on assisted driving systems.

Government authorities plan to press automakers into conducting thorough tests and verifications of their driving assistance technologies. The initiative aims to prevent potential mishaps by ensuring these systems are reliable and effective.

Wang Qiang, an official with the public security ministry, emphasized the importance of clearly defining the boundaries and security protocols of assisted driving systems at a recent press conference.
