From platform architecture to data security across the entire chain, the national level setting regulations for automotive AI means that the era of purely storytelling-based intelligent driving companies is coming to an end.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has released the key points for automotive standardization work in 2026, focusing on the development of an automotive artificial intelligence standard system. It will advance the review and approval of national standard guidance technical documents, including AI technology application, platform architecture, and the capability assessment of vehicle large models. It will also strengthen standards research in areas such as AI risk governance, evaluation and testing of automated driving models, information security and data security, and end-to-end model general development frameworks, while advancing preliminary research on standards for intelligent tiering and heterogeneous agent communication.
