Storyline


South China's Shenzhen City has issued new regulations making the use of autonomous cars legal since Monday, which is the first such legislation in China and the latest attempt to speed up the commercialization of autonomous vehicles in the country.

As a pioneer in reform and opening-up, Shenzhen now is the first city in China to allow fully autonomous cars to hit the road. This science fiction scene is now a reality in the city.

With sensors, actuators and computer brainpower, an autonomous car developed by Chinese autonomous vehicle startup Pony.ai can go anywhere and do everything that an experienced human driver can. And, it is much safer than human drivers, statistically.

"So far, our cars have completed more than 14 million kilometers of autonomous driving in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, without any accidents. This is actually very important as it has provided a good safety basis for us to carry out driverless testing," said Mo Luyi, Vice President of Pony.ai.

Shenzhen's new regulations divide autonomous vehicles into three groups: conditionally automated, highly automated and fully automated. The former two must have human control equipment and drivers.

"The automatic driving system has a redundant module, which will monitor the operation of the main system and the situation of the vehicle in real time. If it finds any issues like sensor failure, it will take over in time to pull over on the roadside, or slow down and stop to ensure safety," said Mo.

The regulations also include clear guidelines about legal liabilities in case of car accidents.

"For autonomous vehicles with a driver, the driver is held responsible for accidents and compensation, which is handled by the traffic police department in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of traffic safety. For fully autonomous vehicles, the owner or the user of the vehicle is held responsible according to the relevant laws and regulations," said Yang Donglong, Deputy Chief, Smart Transportation Division of Bureau of Communications of Shenzhen Municipality.

In a traffic accident, if the damage is caused by the defects of a vehicle, the owner or the user of the vehicle, should pay for the bill, and can request compensation from the manufacturer or seller of the car in accordance with laws, added Yang.

The cars have been tested in cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but the nationwide use of self-driving cars may take years to become normal as experts continue to improve the technology, infrastructure, and government regulations.
