Safety Operators and In-Car Recordings: Mandatory Regulations for Autonomous Vehicles in China
The Chinese Ministry of Transport recently unveiled a set of trial guidelines for autonomous vehicle services like robotaxis, self-driving trucks and robobuses.
The rules also specify the requirements for safety operators at various degrees of automation.
Autonomous cargo trucks should “in principle” be equipped with in-car safety operators.
Robotaxis with advanced automation should have one in-car safety operator.
They should also establish an agreement with the vehicle manufacturers and safety operators on the respective party’s scope of responsibilities.
