“Understand the new regulations of the Supreme Court: In these situations, those involved in assisted driving accidents will be held criminally responsible.”

The Supreme People’s Court has issued new regulations, clarifying the criteria for determining that drivers or relevant responsible parties must bear criminal liability in certain circumstances related to traffic accidents caused by intelligent connected vehicles and autonomous driving technologies. These new regulations aim to clarify the boundaries of responsibility in human-machine collaboration, regulate the use scenarios and operational requirements of assisted driving functions, and strengthen judicial protection for road traffic safety.
