中国企业逐步探索汽车自动驾驶技术 - 2017年06月19日

CHINA, which prides itself as the world’s biggest promoter of electric cars, is also seeking to be a leader in the advancing technology of self-driving cars. It’s a step-by-step process.

The first step is applying some autonomous driving features, such as automatic emergency braking and colli­sion avoidance, to existing auto production. The government expects half of new delivered vehicles to be equipped with driver-assistance features by the end of 2020, according to an industry development plan issued in April.

China will support the entry of more sophisticated hands-free vehicles in the market by 2025, according to the plan. By that year, the government expects 80 percent of new de­livered vehicles to be equipped with autonomous driving features.
