Photo source: with the continuous development of the technology development of high level self driving cars, commercialization and related safety standards have gradually become an important concern in the industry. On the 5 day, the Ministry of land and transport issued the "vehicle safety standard" (Revised Edition, hereinafter referred to as the "standard"). It proposed the safety standards for conditional automatic driving vehicles (L3 level) for the partial functions of autonomous driving vehicles, and Korea became the first country in the world to make safety standards and formulate commercial standards for L3 automatic driving. According to the standards issued by South Korea, the main contents include: automatic lane keeping for L3 level automatic driving vehicle. In the process of vehicle driving, it is aimed at monitoring the state of drivers in unexpected situations, slowing down automatically, starting emergency warning letters, reducing risk and other auxiliary functions. In addition, according to the above standards, in order to ensure the safety factor of drivers, the revised standard requires that in the process of driving, in the face of emergency situations such as highway exit and road construction ahead, the driver should be prompted 15 seconds ago, the vehicle should be taken over manually, and the main engine plant should be equipped with a recognition system when designing the technology, only when the driver's buttocks are in the The automatic driving system can only be started when the car seat is located. South Korea's Ministry of land and transportation also stated in the bulletin that it will put forward safety standards for L4 level automatic driving technologies such as automatic parking and automatic lane change in the next one to three years, and is committed to improving the influence of South Korea and South Korean enterprises in the global automatic driving market through the introduction of leading safety specifications and standards. The first financial reporter learned from the road traffic law and relevant laws of South Korea that the laws of South Korea stipulate that a technology for the first time to be carried on a vehicle for sale shall apply for relevant certification after the relevant safety standards and detailed rules are published and after a grace period of six months, the vehicle carrying the technology can be sold out of the factory in the context of meeting the relevant safety standards and detailed rules , which also means that consumers in the Korean market will be able to buy cars equipped with L3 level automatic driving function as soon as July this year, and drive on local non test roads in Korea. In addition, the South Korean parliament introduced the motor vehicle accident compensation act (Amendment) in April 2019. The bill proposes that, as the L3 level requires drivers to be ready to take over the automatic driving vehicle, the main driver is the driver himself if the accident involving L3 grade self driving vehicle is concerned. People. Then, we will check whether there is any defect in the automatic driving vehicle to determine whether the manufacturer should be jointly and severally liable for the accident. During the Winter Olympics in Pingchang in 2018, Hyundai Motor had measured the L4 level of 3 cars and 2 cars of the car. The joint government of Korea proposed to commercialize some L4 grade autopilot cars in 2024, and to make a comprehensive commercial strategy for L3 class automatic driving vehicles as soon as possible. Jin Tainian, chairman of the KAMA Operation Committee, said in an interview with the first financial reporter that the Internet companies, unlike those with weak experience in engineering collaboration, proposed the idea of promoting the automatic driving vehicle from the L4 level. From the current technological development speed of the Korean main engine, the automatic driving technology of L3 level has been basically mature, and more is the phase of stability. Pass the test, and think that by promoting safety standards and setting a six month buffer period, South Korea can promote the attention of the outside world to the commercialization of autopilot cars and carry out the "leak detection and compensation". According to the report released by the prospective industry research institute, by 2021, the global market size of driverless vehicles is expected to reach 7.03 billion US dollars. As an important part of the real "walk out" of automatic driving from the laboratory and test road, the competition on technology and safety standards among countries is also increasing. At present, the most recognized standard in the world is the automatic driving classification standard proposed by the International Automobile Engineering Association of the United States (SAE). According to this standard, the L1~L2 level is "auxiliary driving" level, and it is regarded as "automatic driving vehicle" from the L3 level, of which L3 level is conditional automatic driving, and the driver still needs the driver's instructions under the automatic driving system. Prepare to take over the vehicle ", and from L4 level, as long as certain conditions are met, the vehicle can be fully self driving, and the driver does not need to prepare to take over the vehicle. After nearly three years of research, the first national automobile driving automation classification standard jointly formulated by the national automobile Standardization Technical Committee, China automobile center, automobile and other institutions and enterprises has recently passed the review of the national automobile Standardization Technical Committee and is planned to be officially released in 2020. In addition, it is initiated by China and jointly proposed by other countries The autopilot vehicle framework document was also considered and approved by the 178th plenary meeting of the United Nations World Vehicle Coordination forum in September 2019. Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission has published the guidance of Beijing Municipality on accelerating the road test of automatic driving vehicles (for Trial Implementation) and the implementation rules of Beijing Municipality on road test management of automatic driving vehicles (for Trial Implementation), which have detailed regulations on automatic driving vehicles, drivers, application process, monitoring agencies, etc., but the laws and regulations at the national level are still in place Under development. Liu Miao, a teacher from the school of automotive engineering, Shanghai University of engineering and technology, thinks that China once lagged behind in the formulation and implementation of standards for automatic driving, but the speed of catching up is obvious in the near future. He also points out that although some Internet enterprises put forward the feasibility of skipping L3 and directly entering the high-level automatic driving above L4, they frequently made mistakes in the experimental process. In addition, for accidents Emergency safety standards such as system safety still need to be introduced. "Therefore, the outlook is optimistic, but the most correct attitude towards automatic driving is to keep a high degree of caution in every link," Liu said
