MIIT: Companies should not use the term “autonomous driving system” in the naming and marketing of combined driving assistance systems or functions, which implies to consumers that the system can be used as an autonomous driving system.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guidelines for the Management and Technology of Access, Recall and Online Software Upgrade of Intelligent Connected Vehicle Products", which proposed to regulate marketing and publicity activities. When enterprises provide consumers with information on the driving automation level, system capabilities, system boundaries, etc. of intelligent connected vehicles, they should be truthful and comprehensive, and should not make false, exaggerated system capabilities or misleading publicity to ensure that consumers correctly understand and use intelligent connected vehicle products. In the naming and marketing of combined driving assistance systems or functions, enterprises shall not use terms that imply to consumers that the system can be used as an autonomous driving system and has functions that it does not actually have, so as to prevent the risk of driver abuse.
