In the tide of the global automobile industry moving towards intelligence and networking, Guangzhou has injected new impetus into the development of intelligent networked vehicles with its forward-looking legislation. The promulgation of the Regulations on the Innovation and Development of Intelligent Connected Vehicles in Guangzhou (Revised Draft and Draft for Comments) not only provides a legal guarantee for the commercial application of autonomous driving technology, but also points out the direction for the healthy development of the intelligent networked vehicle industry.
Milestones of the legislation:
Guangzhou's legislative move marks a solid step forward in China's legal construction in the field of intelligent networked vehicles. The introduction of this regulation will provide a comprehensive legal framework for the research and development, testing, demonstration application and commercial operation of intelligent and connected vehicles.
Definition and classification of intelligent networked vehicles:
The draft regulation clarifies the definition of intelligent connected vehicles and divides them into three types according to the degree of function of autonomous driving: conditional autonomous driving, highly autonomous driving and fully autonomous driving. This classification provides a clear legal position for different levels of autonomous driving technology.

Infrastructure construction and technical requirements:
Guangzhou plans to provide strong technical support for intelligent networked vehicles through the construction of vehicle-road-cloud integrated infrastructure. It is estimated that by 2025, Guangzhou will have built more than 1,000 kilometers of intelligent networked vehicle testing and operation roads, covering major areas and transportation hubs in the city.
Safety & Responsibility:
The draft regulations put forward strict requirements for driving safety, data storage, and accident analysis of intelligent networked vehicles. All connected vehicles on the road must comply with national road traffic safety laws and regulations, and have clear signage to alert other road users.
Data Management & Storage:
The draft regulation emphasises the importance of data management and requires companies to record and store vehicle operation data continuously and completely for at least 30 days. This provides a solid data basis for accident analysis and liability traceability.
Epilogue:
Guangzhou's legislative action is not only a strong impetus to the intelligent networked automobile industry, but also a profound change to the entire social transportation system. Through the legislation, Guangzhou has provided a solid legal guarantee for the technological innovation, industrial development and market application of intelligent networked vehicles, and also provided legislative experience for other cities to learn from.
With the gradual implementation of the "Guangzhou Intelligent Connected Vehicle Innovation and Development Regulations", we have reason to believe that intelligent networked vehicles will move from concept to reality faster, from the test site to daily life. The far-reaching impact of this legislation will provide a more solid foundation for the commercial application of autonomous driving technology and lead the future of intelligent transportation.
