The general offices of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and
three other ministries issued a notice launching a special campaign to improve
production consistency and quality of road motor vehicle products. The campaign
targets four areas: production consistency, reliability, durability and
testing/validation of new technologies. Durability enforcement will focus on
automakers' new-vehicle design service life and R&D cycle practices.
New-technology checks will assess whether innovative designs adequately evaluate
risks from user habits, misuse and extreme scenarios and whether marketing
claims are accurate; whether new materials and structures carry defect or
fatigue-failure risks; and whether testing and validation of driver-assistance
and autonomous driving functions are sufficient, including product and cloud
data security, network cybersecurity, AI safety, coordinated
planning/construction/use, and completeness of logs for incident investigations.
