Recently, the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute unveiled the 'Pyramid-Tiered Evaluation System for Intelligent Driving.' This innovative system marks the first time that intelligent driving capabilities have been scientifically classified, providing a comprehensive assessment framework that spans from basic compliance to cutting-edge technological advancements.

Built upon the foundation of technological maturity, the system categorizes intelligent driving into three distinct tiers: 'Safety Baseline,' 'Comprehensive Excellence,' and 'Ultimate Intelligence.'

The 'Safety Baseline' tier emphasizes adherence to regulatory standards, ensuring that vehicles meet fundamental functional requirements. Moving up the pyramid, the 'Comprehensive Excellence' tier sets 'ease of use' as its benchmark, simulating typical daily consumer scenarios to conduct multi-dimensional evaluations. At the pinnacle, the 'Ultimate Intelligence' tier subjects vehicles to extreme condition testing, quantifying the system's ability to make anthropomorphic decisions, akin to human-like judgment.

This groundbreaking system addresses a long-standing gap in China's intelligent driving industry by establishing a tiered evaluation framework. It not only assists companies in refining their product development strategies but also empowers consumers to make informed vehicle selection decisions.
