Hey amigos! 🚗💡 The Chinese mainland is rolling out a draft of tougher safety rules for intelligent connected new energy vehicles (NEVs), aiming to make our rides smarter and safer. Let’s break it down:
- Phasing up recalls & consistency: Automakers will face stricter recall rules and must ensure each EV batch matches safety standards.
- Software power-up: Updates on driver-assist features need robust testing before hitting roads.
- Cybersecurity boost: Shielding smart-driving systems against hacking or glitches.
- Clear marketing: No more implying driver-assist is full autopilot. Safety instructions come front and center.
Why now? A series of incidents—including the tragic March crash of Xiaomi’s SU7 electric sedan in assisted-driving mode that took three lives—shone a spotlight on the fast-evolving NEV world. Earlier in the year, recalls for parking-assist software bugs also raised eyebrows.
The State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology want your thoughts! Public feedback is open until September 15, 2025. If you’re passionate about cars, tech, or just want safer streets, here’s your chance to chime in. 🤖🛣️
For young pros, investors, or students watching the NEV boom, these draft rules hint at a more regulated market ahead—potentially boosting consumer trust and shaping global auto tech trends. 🌏✨
Stay tuned to amigonews.net for updates, and let’s keep driving innovation responsibly! 🔋🚀
