The Supreme Court clarified the rules for liability in autonomous vehicles and regulated false advertising.

The Supreme People’s Court issued the “Opinions on Handling Dispute Cases Related to Artificial Intelligence in accordance with the Law”, clarifying the rules for liability in autonomous driving vehicles and regulations on false advertising. These opinions focus on issues such as AI face swapping, big data price discrimination, impersonation of celebrities for sales, and autonomous driving, defining the boundaries of behavior and legal responsibilities. Regarding damage caused by autonomous driving vehicles, the Opinions stipulate that if vehicle defects combined with driver negligence result in the same damage, victims may seek liability from both the driver and the producer or seller according to the Civil Code. As for false advertising, the Opinions clarify that if vehicle producers and sellers make false or misleading claims regarding key information such as the level of automation and intelligence, thereby harming consumers’ rights, consumers may legally demand civil liability from them.
