MIIT Releases 2023 Version of the Guidance for the Building of a National Standard System for ICVs in the IoV Industry

On July 26, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (“MIIT”) released the Guidance for the Building of a National Standard System for Intelligent Connected Vehicles (“ICVs”) in the Internet of Vehicles (“IoV”) Industry (2023 Version) (the “Guidance”).

The Guidance is planned to formulate and revise over 100 ICV related standards by 2025, covering standards for combined driver assistance, critical system for automatic driving, basic functions and operating systems of ICVs, high-performance computing chips and data applications. It is estimated that by 2030, more than 140 standards related to ICVs will be formulated and revised, forming an intelligent networked vehicle standard system that supports the coordinated development of bicycle intelligence and empowerment. It is clarified that the ICV standard system will be horizontally based on the layer of intelligent perception and information communication, the layer of decision control and execution, and the layer of resource management and application, and vertically supported with general specifications and technologies with respect to functional safety and expected functional safety, network safety and data safety, creating a “three horizontal and two vertical” core technical framework.
