On January 14, the Economic and Technological Information Research Institute under China's Automobile Industry (a branch of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers) unveiled the '2025 Urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) Vehicle Assisted Driving Research Report.' The report advocates for the swift creation of a phased management framework for autonomous driving, specifying functional limits, safety accountabilities, and entry criteria for each tier. It also urges updates to legislation, including the 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' to clearly define liability. Furthermore, the report recommends broadening pilot initiatives for Level L3 and above autonomous driving in prominent urban clusters and specific environments, expediting technology verification and business model innovation through tiered and context-driven implementations.
