China is Take energetic measures On how car manufacturers announce the driver’s assistance characteristics, prohibit terms such as “autonomous driving”, “autonomous” and “intelligent driving,” Reuters said, citing a transcription of a meeting between the government and the representatives of the industry.
The updated rule will also prohibit car manufacturers to implement improvements through software updates to advanced driver assistance systems in vehicles that are already in the hands of customers. Automobile manufacturers must now test any update or new feature in ADAS and receive government approval before implementing it through software update.
Wireless software updates that improve or fix the characteristics in vehicles, and first popularized by Tesla, have become a critical capacity for car manufacturers trying to stay competitive.
The mandate derives from the growing concerns about vehicle safety and fatal accident incidents that involve advanced driver assistance systems. Last month, an Xiaomi Supa sedan caught fire after crashing into a post only a few seconds after the driver took over the control of the ADA.
It also follows the display of Tesla of its “complete driverless software” brand of Tesla used for your advanced driver assistance system. The FSD is not an autonomous driving system and requires a human driver to remain compromised. In China, Tesla changed the name of FSD to “intelligent assisted driving.”
