China is revving up safety standards for high-tech electric vehicles (EVs) after a series of accidents shook public confidence in driver-assist systems. New draft rules released this week aim to put the brakes on misleading tech claims and boost cybersecurity in next-gen cars.
What's Changing?
Regulators want automakers to:
🔍 Install better driver monitoring systems
🛡️ Strengthen defenses against hacking
📢 Clearly explain system limitations in ads
⚙️ Improve software update protocols
Why Now?
The move follows March's tragic Xiaomi SU7 crash that killed three people during assisted driving – plus January recalls over faulty parking software. As China's EV market accelerates faster than a Tesla Plaid Mode, officials are ensuring safety keeps pace with innovation.

The public can comment on these proposals until September 2025. For young tech enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers, this could shape the future of smart transportation in the world's largest EV market.
