On February 20th, the official WeChat account of the "Network Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security" released a statement announcing the investigation and punishment of a case involving online rumors about a specific automobile brand. According to the investigation, on February 12th at 9:47 AM, a netizen named "CHE Che Shuo Dao" posted an article titled "First Ruling on L3 Autonomous Driving! Automaker Held 70% Responsible, and Intelligent Driving Laws and Regulations Undergo Comprehensive Overhaul" on a certain platform. The article falsely asserted that this case represented the "first domestic incident of a death attributed to intelligent driving" and exaggerated its significance, stating that it would "establish a benchmark for liability division in intelligent driving and compel the industry to upgrade technology and improve regulations." Following verification, it was discovered that Yan XX, motivated by the pursuit of traffic and revenue, utilized AI technology to rewrite and create this rumor, which subsequently spread across multiple internet platforms, causing detrimental effects. Consequently, the public security organ has taken criminal detention measures against Yan XX and shut down the relevant accounts.
