Ministry of Industry and Information Technology seeks public opinion on intelligent connected vehicles' cooperative driving assistance related standards.

On September 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology publicly announced the mandatory national standard for the "Safety Requirements of Intelligent Connected Vehicles Combination Driving Assistance Systems" and solicited opinions from the society. Experts believe that this will once again establish a solid safety baseline for the development of China's intelligent connected vehicle industry. The draft for soliciting opinions released this time establishes the safety baseline for intelligent connected vehicle products, requiring the system to only be activated under its designed operating conditions. For different functions such as single lane, multi-lane, and navigation assistance, comprehensive safety technical requirements such as human-machine interaction, functional safety and expected functional safety, information security, data recording, etc. have been set up, constructing a "triple safety guarantee". The draft mentions that the standard requires the system to have the ability to detect hand-off and eye-off, and once the driver's hands or eyes are off during system activation, the system should issue a warning and alarm, and can exit the activation state under the premise that the driver does not respond to the system alarm in a timely manner.
