Recently, the Ministry of Public Security has taken the lead in organizing the drafting of a national standard plan titled "Technical Conditions for the Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles" and is currently seeking public input. This standard is being developed by several prominent organizations, including the Road Traffic Safety Research Center of the Ministry of Public Security, the Research Institute of Highway Science under the Ministry of Transport, and the China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd. It is anticipated that the standard will be officially enforced six months following the release of the draft for public comment, thereby superseding the existing GB 7258 standard. The working group responsible for drafting the new standard emphasized that GB 7258 serves as the cornerstone technical standard for motor vehicle safety management in China. It is extensively utilized across various sectors, including motor vehicle manufacturing, importation, quality inspection, registration, safety technology inspection, and operational safety management. However, with the swift proliferation of new energy vehicles and passenger cars equipped with assisted driving capabilities in China in recent years, there has been a corresponding rise in traffic safety risks and incidents. The current iteration of the GB 7258 standard, dating back to 2017, is no longer adequate to support the automotive industry's pursuit of high-quality development and the modernization of traffic safety governance. Consequently, the new standard introduces more stringent safety requirements for new energy vehicles. These include stipulations for Type A electric regenerative braking systems, the standardization of the "single-pedal" driving mode, and the incorporation of features designed to prevent unintended acceleration caused by pedal misapplication. Furthermore, for vehicles equipped with assisted driving technology, the new standard imposes additional requirements concerning the activation and deactivation conditions of combined driving assistance systems, as well as the detection of driver distraction, such as when the driver's hands or eyes are not on the task. In addition, the new standard explicitly mandates that passenger vehicles should, by default after each power-on or ignition, operate in a mode where the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is no less than 5 seconds, thereby enhancing driving safety.
