China's car companies are moving fast in driver assistance technology (ADAS) and are competing to overtake foreign companies. People are excited about new technology, but China has expressed concern over this technology. China's message is clear that “Walk fast, but careful.” Recently, three people died in an accident in the Xiaomi SU7 car. The car in which the accident occurred is equipped with Adas technology. After this, the Chinese government expressed concern about technology and new security rules are being prepared for the driver-assist system.
China does not want car manufacturing companies to make wrong claims about this technology, but China also wants it to lag behind any other country in this matter. Experts believe that if China makes rules in a smart way, it can give them an edge in global competition. Because there are no strict rules for this technology in America till now, but China is constantly moving forward.
What do the current rules say?
In China, there is still a system of a system that can bend, brake and control the car itself, but it is necessary for the driver to be vigilant. Therefore, words like 'Smart' or 'Autonomas' are prohibited from using it in advertising. The new rules will be focused on whether the car can identify whether the driver is alert or not and can handle the car control if needed. For this, the government has taken the help of tech companies like Dongfeng car company and Huawei. Also, people have also sought suggestions for a month.
Level 3 Adas Technology Preparation
The government wants companies to work on Level 3 technology, in which in some circumstances the driver can remove the eyes from the road. Level 3 is the medium level of driver-antic technology. Level 1 is the most common, which contain cruise control features and Level 5 is completely self-driving. The government allowed the Changan company to start the first level 3 Test in April this year, but it was stopped after the Xiaomi accident. Now it is expected that the tests will start again and by 2026 the first Level 3 car can be approved.
Competition of China companies
In the last 10 years, Level 2 systems have become quite popular in electric cars like Tesla and Xiaomi. These systems can drive a car to a large extent in highways and cities, but the driver has to keep an eye. Now companies are offering Level 2 features for very low price or free. A company like byd has given the 'Gods Eye' system free in all its vehicles. According to a report, 60% of new cars sold in China this year will have Level 2 systems.
