China has issued pilot guidelines for self-driving vehicle transportation safety services. Self-driving vehicles engaged in urban bus and tram passenger transportation should be equipped with a driver or safety officer.

According to the pilot guidelines published on the official website of the Ministry of Transport of China on Tuesday (December 5), self-driving vehicles engaged in urban bus and tram passenger transportation and road passenger transportation should be equipped with a driver or operation safety personnel (safety officer). ).

Operators who use self-driving vehicles to engage in urban bus and tram passenger transport, taxi passenger transport, road passenger transport, and road cargo transport (self-driving transport operators) must register as market entities in accordance with the law.

In addition, taxi passenger transport (online ride-hailing) and road passenger transport should also be insured by carrier liability insurance in accordance with the law.

Many places in China have accelerated the commercial application of autonomous driving in recent years and vigorously supported the development of the autonomous driving industry from a policy perspective.

The Economic Information Daily, a subsidiary of Xinhua News Agency, quoted Zhao Jingwu, associate professor at Beihang University School of Law, in July as saying that there are three core issues in autonomous driving supervision, namely safety issues, identification of tort liability and data security.
