[ICT- ICV] – APR 7 2021, MIIT Call for Comments on the Guidelines for ICV Manufacturers and Product Access Management (Trial)
To strengthen the management of road motor vehicle production enterprises and product access and promote the sound development of the Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICV) industry, the MIIT Department of Equipment Industry has organized and compiled the Guidelines for ICV Manufacturers and Product Access Management (Trial) (Call for Comments). The Guidelines set requirements for enterprise safety assurance capabilities for ICV manufacturers, requirements for management systems and assurance mechanisms for vehicle software upgrades, cybersecurity, data security, etc., and require them to establish and improve enterprise safety monitoring service platforms.
The document mentioned that ICV manufacturers should collect, use, and protect personal information in accordance with the law, implement data classification, develop important data catalogs, and must not disclose sensitive information related to national security. ICV products should clarify driving automation functions and their design and operating conditions. The design operating conditions should include the design operating range, vehicle status, driver status and other necessary conditions; the design operating range should include but not limited to roads, traffic, electromagnetic environment, weather, light, etc.
ICV manufacturers should comply laws and regulations on cybersecurity, establish a cybersecurity protection system covering the entire life cycle of vehicles, take necessary technical measures and other necessary measures to effectively respond to cybersecurity incidents, and protect vehicles and their connected facilities from attack, intrusion, interference, and destruction.
ICV manufacturers should clearly inform the vehicle design and operating conditions, human-computer interaction equipment instructions, driver responsibilities, driving automation function activation and exit methods, software upgrades and maintenance, and other information, to resolve the operation and maintenance of ICVs and traditional vehicles. The expected discrepancies that may arise in use, etc.
Core content
l Applicable enterprises and products: L3 and L4 level ICV enterprise and product access, fully autonomous driving enterprise and product access are yet to be perfected and launched in the future.
l As an access management guide, it is a programmatic document for the access of ICVs in the future. The specific technical specifications, test requirements, and technical indicators need to be further refined and clarified.
l Enterprise access: It should meet the requirements of product functions, network and privacy security, and software upgrade management.
l Product access: ICV products should clarify automation functions and design operating conditions, pay special attention to network information security, and advance the information security standard system.
l The access of ICV products must not only meet the three major scenarios of interaction with external entities, including simulation testing, closed field testing and actual road testing, but also meet the reliability requirements of digital media in the interactive process, including cybersecurity testing, software upgrade test and data storage test.
l Overall, the guidance system stipulates the access program requirements for L3 and L4 autonomous driving companies and products. To meet safety requirements, at present, the barriers to entry are remarkably high, and the cost of access for enterprises and products will be higher. Cooperating with leading companies in key components, integrated innovation is more suitable for current vehicle companies.
l ICVs involve many industrial chains and are highly integrated with technology and components. At present, China still has shortcomings in key components, especially high-computing power chips and high-reliability software.
