Recently, the official account of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology unveiled the April edition of the "Science" Rumor List, effectively debunking the misconception that "assisted driving is synonymous with autonomous driving, allowing drivers to freely use their phones, sleep, or engage in other activities once enabled." This rumor perpetuates the idea that with assisted driving activated, drivers can let their guard down and multitask. However, traffic police and experts across regions have emphasized that assisted driving is not autonomous driving, and drivers must retain full control of the vehicle, ready to intervene at any moment. Warnings to this effect have been prominently displayed on high-speed electronic signs nationwide, urging caution in using assisted driving features, especially in complex road conditions. Furthermore, media outlets have frequently reported on traffic accidents attributed to distracted driving despite the use of intelligent assistance systems. Traffic police departments have taken such incidents seriously, reminding drivers to avoid misplaced trust or overreliance on assisted driving technologies.
