China’s industry ministry has taken steps to address concerns regarding data protection and cybersecurity in the realm of autonomous vehicles by releasing a set of draft technical standards. These proposed regulations aim to enhance data protection as the use of intelligent vehicles becomes increasingly prevalent.
One significant requirement in the new standards is the prohibition of smart vehicles from transmitting data directly overseas. Instead, they must use domestic cloud services for data transfers. This regulation seeks to ensure that sensitive data from smart vehicles remains secure and within China’s borders.
