What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and three other departments released a draft notice seeking public comment on strengthening the management of automotive product innovation, design, and R&D testing verification. The proposal mandates physical controls for critical functions, prohibits fully hidden door handles and 'zero-gravity' seats while driving, and requires new reliability tests to cover at least 30,000 kilometers. Furthermore, environmental adaptation verification must now span at least one year, including two winters and one summer.
