Comparing the autopilot drive test regulations issued in 9 cities

China is advancing the accelerated development of autonomous driving and has issued a programmatic guidance document. The development of intelligent network-linked vehicles is not only an important means to solve the problems faced by the automobile society in terms of traffic safety, road congestion, energy consumption, and pollution emissions, but also a core element for constructing a smart industry-based service to serve a new type of industrial ecology. It has become a new era of automobile industry transformation and upgrading. Important breakthroughs and strategic heights of the global automotive industry's technological transformation.

In 2018, the development of China’s automatic driving has accelerated. Since the end of 2017, after Beijing took the lead in introducing China’s first road test regulations for self-driving cars, Baoding, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Changsha, Changchun, Pingtan, and Guangzhou successively issued auto-pilot drive test regulations, and these cities were also issued for automobile companies. The road test license. At present, Baidu, Tencent, FAW, Weilai Automobile, Geely, Dongfeng and other car companies are conducting drive tests in an orderly manner.

Comparing the auto-pilot drive test regulations issued in 9 cities, the road test regulations issued by Beijing are the most comprehensive, and the drive test management methods, rules, assessment contents and methods, and site technical requirements have all been issued. Guangzhou and Shenzhen are soliciting opinions on road test regulations and will soon be formally released. Shanghai, Changchun, and Pingtan introduced the road test management method, Chongqing and Changsha introduced the implementation rules for road test, and Baoding only issued guidance.

Combined with the national “Intelligent Networked Road Test Management Regulations (Trial)” policy, the policies released by 9 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc., are similar to each other, and clearly test and test vehicles, test subjects, test drivers, and test management. The basic requirements such as the test route, etc., put forward requirements for testing applications and audit procedures, traffic violations and accident handling.
