BEIJING (Reuters) -China’s science and technology ministry on Wednesday issued ethical guidelines for autonomous driving technology, requiring developers to prioritise user safety and refrain from spreading false information when publishing research results.
Algorithms and models related to autonomous driving technology should be recorded and made accessible while data collection in the development and application of the technology should be limited to the scope required to achieve driving functions, the guidelines say.
The guidelines also specify which party – the human driver or the driving system – is liable when driving with such systems, based on how advanced the system is.
