On August 27, the General Offices of four key government departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly released a notice to kick off a special campaign aimed at enhancing the production consistency and overall quality of road motor vehicle products. This initiative will zero in on tackling challenges across four crucial domains: production consistency, reliability, durability, and the testing and validation of cutting-edge technologies.

When it comes to durability, the campaign will concentrate on scrutinizing the design service life and the research and development cycle of new vehicles by complete vehicle manufacturers, ensuring that these aspects meet high standards.

In the realm of testing and validating new technologies, the focus will be threefold:

• Firstly, assessing whether the innovative design of new products thoroughly evaluates user habits, potential risks of misuse, and extreme usage scenarios, while also verifying the accuracy of marketing claims.
• Secondly, examining whether new materials and structures introduce risks such as product defects and fatigue failure, thereby safeguarding consumer safety.
• Thirdly, ensuring that the testing and validation of driving assistance and autonomous driving functions in product combinations are comprehensive. This includes verifying whether data security, network security, and AI security protections for products and cloud platforms are robust, whether they are planned, constructed, and utilized in a coordinated manner, and whether the retention of logs for incident investigations is complete and reliable.
