MIIT deputy minister Xin Guobin said at the World Intelligent Connected Vehicles
Conference in Beijing that China will back leading firms to form innovation
consortia focused on energy powertrains, intelligent chassis and
connected-vehicle systems. Beijing will push rollout and enforcement of
mandatory national standards for autonomous driving, accelerated standards work
on automated parking, operational monitoring and data security, and speed
issuance of regulations tightening automotive product innovation design and R&D
testing/validation. The ministry said it will actively engage in international
trade and technical rulemaking to align domestic standards with global rules and
support deeper Sino-foreign R&D and industrial cooperation to develop exportable
products.
