Abstract

This chapter focuses on autonomous driving in China. Firstly, the recent development of China’s autonomous vehicles (AVs) industry and policies released by the related governmental administrations to promote its growth are outlined. Then, the taxonomy of driving automation for vehicles of China (TDAV) is introduced as the basis for further discussion. The central and local government rules about AVs road testing and demonstration application are analyzed thereafter. The commercialization of AVs is still in its infancy in China, and a comprehensive legal framework has not yet been formulated, so these rules are the most relevant ones to AVs at the present stage. Lastly, the attribution of liability caused by AVs with different levels is discussed in accordance with the existing laws and regulations in China.
