#China's strong push for automated driving, bolstered by significant government support and regulatory frameworks, positions it as a potential leader in the development of #autonomous vehicle (AV) technology and relative to commercialization of the AV industry. In mainland China, an improved investment climate and consumer demand for advanced #technology has prompted many manufacturers to incorporate high-level advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems, especially in Level 2+ use cases. Direction from policymakers on the importance of #AI and its applications in autonomous vehicles also provides a long-term orientation to technology development in China and some reassurance to OEMs. https://okt.to/SEnDxt

#DisruptiveTech 🔵 The U.S. Department of Commerce is expected to propose barring Chinese software in autonomous and connected vehicles in the coming weeks, according to sources briefed on the matter. The Biden administration plans to issue a proposed rule that would bar Chinese software in vehicles in the United States with Level 3 automation and above, which would have the effect of also banning testing on U.S. roads of autonomous vehicles produced by Chinese companies. The administration, in plans first reported by Reuters, will also propose barring vehicles with Chinese-developed advanced wireless communications abilities modules from U.S. roads, the sources added. Under the proposal, automakers and suppliers would need to verify that none of their connected vehicle or advanced autonomous vehicle software was developed in a "foreign entity of concern" like China, the sources said. #cav #autonomous #autonomousvehicles #China #US Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting

🌐 The #5G technology is already widespread and its coverage is expected to be global by 2029. This technology has and will have a huge impact on several sectors such as: 📖 #Education: Thanks to its low latency and fast speed remote teaching is improving significantly. 🚗 #Transportation: This technology facilitates the development of autonomous vehicles and can improve the management of traffic systems, reducing both congestion and pollution. 👁️ Find out more about 5G here: https://brnw.ch/21wMLS3

I worked on connected vehicle rollouts from Western OEMs across the world. There are people everywhere who don't want Western OEMs tracking them and sharing details with their domestic governments. We trained the market to support turning the systems off as modems now become standard equipment. There are levels of control here. The proposed controls from the U.S. on China's "Smart" vehicles are on those with Level 3 (L3) tech and above - I think its to support a political win more than have real impact. When it comes to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) our friends at Bosch have an L2/L2+/L2++ market view (thanks Mathias Reimann for teaching us that last Spring.) The market will find a way to stay close to the line. L3 hardware is not cheap, we may not see L3 and above on "cheap Chinese imports" anytime soon especially with a 100% tariff. This law certainly makes it harder for Western companies to choose to partner with CN companies in the Smart Tier to improve their Global products. VW deserves to partner with Xpeng and leverage the G9 platform to improve their Global products. Bill Russo what do you think, were the benefits of working with Xpeng ever going to make their way into VWs global products? I thought they would.

The US Department of Commerce plans to propose a ban on Chinese software in autonomous and connected vehicles, impacting those with Level 3 automation and above. This includes a prohibition on testing Chinese-produced autonomous vehicles on US roads and barring vehicles with Chinese-developed advanced wireless communications modules. Automakers and suppliers will need to verify that their connected and advanced autonomous vehicle software is not developed by foreign entities of concern, such as China. The proposal is motivated by national security concerns regarding connected technologies in vehicles. A Chinese embassy representative emphasized the importance of fair competition in the global electric vehicle market. The White House and the US Department of State recently held a meeting with international allies to address data and cybersecurity risks tied to connected vehicles. US lawmakers raised concerns about Chinese companies’ operations in the US, where they have significantly tested autonomous vehicles. The US administration is particularly worried about potential misuse of connected vehicle technologies to monitor or control occupants. #MotiveAsia #Taiwan https://lnkd.in/gnNMpWMP

The autonomous vehicle industry is accelerating faster than ever. With each passing day, we witness groundbreaking advancements that promise to revolutionize transportation. But how do we, as consumers, feel about this rapidly evolving landscape? While the prospect of self-driving cars offers exciting possibilities - increased safety, reduced congestion, and newfound mobility - it also raises valid concerns about job displacement, cybersecurity, and ethical implications. As this technology matures, it's crucial to foster open dialogue about the potential benefits and challenges. We need to ensure that the development of autonomous vehicles aligns with societal values and prioritizes the well-being of all. What are your thoughts on the future of autonomous vehicles?How do you envision this technology impacting your daily life? Do you think they are a good investment option? Let's spark a conversation! #autonomousvehicles #futureoftransportation #technology #consumertrends #innovation

This week China rolled out the groundbreaking new GB/T 45086.1-2024 standard designed to improve automotive sector safety and positioning accuracy, and we're proud that our cutting-edge PNT simulation systems and expertise played a pivotal role in helping shape this new standard. It is expected to underpin the forthcoming Accident and Emergency Calling Systems (AECS) framework, which will potentially save lives by enabling rapid emergency response in car accidents. By establishing rigorous benchmarks for positioning systems, the new standard aims to enhance the reliability and performance of these critical positioning components, with the potential to provide the groundwork for regulation of autonomous vehicles on public roads. With Spirent's technology already trusted by leading test centers like TATC, CAERI, and NAST, we empower global automakers to meet these new benchmarks and lead the way in performance and innovation. Learn more about how we’re helping driving progress for safer roads and smarter vehicles. https://okt.to/oRHZPi #automotive #PNT #autonomous #innovation

Tesla Unveils the Cybercab: A Fully Autonomous Robotaxi with No Steering Wheel or Pedals – Are We Ready? Tesla’s new Cybercab is an exciting leap into the future, but it raises some serious questions: are we really prepared for fully autonomous vehicles to become the norm? While the technology behind autonomous driving has made significant strides, there are still real-world issues we need to address before we can confidently embrace a world of robotaxis: 👁️Safety and Reliability: Are current AI systems advanced enough to handle unpredictable situations like road construction, extreme weather, or sudden obstacles? What happens if the system fails with no manual controls available? 👁️Cybersecurity Risks: Autonomous vehicles are highly connected. How do we protect them from hacking or data breaches that could compromise passengers' safety? 👁️Ethical Dilemmas: Who is responsible in case of an accident? The manufacturer, the AI, or the owner? We’re entering uncharted legal territory, and regulations need to catch up. 👁️Job Impact: With robotaxis on the rise, what does this mean for the millions of people employed in the transportation industry? Are we ready for this kind of economic shift? 👁️Trust and Public Acceptance: Fully autonomous vehicles still face public skepticism. Will people feel safe and comfortable being passengers in cars with no human control? 👁️👁️The vision is impressive, but the road ahead has more than a few bumps that we need to navigate carefully. #AutonomousVehicles #Robotaxi #Tesla #AI #FutureOfMobility #SafetyConcerns #TechEthics
