Local branches of the three most relevant Chinese authorities overseeing this area, namely the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), and the Ministry of Transportation (MOT), will jointly form a panel of experts to review the road test applications received. Once approved, the MPS will issue a temporary license plate to the testing vehicle. Autonomous vehicles are only allowed to run on designated roads, and the testing period generally wont exceed 18 months. In the case that the testing vehicle seriously violates the traffic rules, the panel reserves the right to revoke the road test approval and the temporary license plate.

In April 2018, China released its nationwide automatic vehicle road testing rules, theIntelligent Internet-connected Vehicles Road Test Administrative Rules (for Trial Implementation)(the National Rules), which took effect on May 1, 2018. Intelligent Internet-connected vehicles, as defined under the National Rules, are commonly referred to as intelligent vehicles or autonomous vehicles, which involve a system of advanced sensors, controllers, actuators, etc. that may ultimately become a substitute for human drivers. The National Rules governs three categories of autonomous vehicles depending on the level of automation and human interaction required, i.e., conditional automation, high-level automation and full automation.

The National Rules are also surprisingly silent on the controversies surrounding high-quality map data in China. Under the current rules, foreign-invested companies are prohibited from conducting ground mobile surveying, compiling electronic maps, or engaging in certain other surveying and mapping activities in China. As a result they would likely have to cooperate with a qualified domestic surveying and mapping company for map data and obtain prior-approval from the National Administration of Surveying, Mapping, and Geo-information (NASMG) under a 2016requirement. Such approvals are not easily obtained in practice. Accordingly, while it is encouraging that competing global players looking to enter Chinas emerging autonomous vehicle market will now be able to make basic road test applications to the Chinese authorities and establish wholly-owned PRC-incorporated factories, these companies may face other continuing challenges where access to such data is regarded as indispensable to be a viable player.

The National Road Test Rules represent a big step forward towards Chinas ambitious goals in the global race to advance automatic driving technologies.The Automobile Industry Medium-to-Long Term Development Plan(Apr. 6, 2017) envisions that in Chinaby 2020, more than 50% of new vehicles will be equipped with a driver assistance (DA), partial automation (PA) or conditional automation (CA) system, and 10% of new vehicles will be equipped with Internet-connected DA system; and by 2050, the percentage rate will be increased to 80% and 25% respectively, while high-level automation and full automation vehicles will begin to come into the market.We expect that the abovementioned tested functions will become a trend for new vehicles in the future in China .

The release of the National Rules seems to be good news for automobile companies (i.e., OEM manufacturers), domestic and foreign alike, that are seeking to gain a place in Chinas emerging autonomous vehicle market. This is particularly so in light of the Chinese governments recentannouncementin April 2018 to further open up market access and lift long-standing restrictions that capped foreign shareholding ratio in PRC-incorporated automakers to 50%. Accordingly, in the future, wholly foreign owned PRC-incorporated automakers will be permitted in China. According to apress releaseby Chinas National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) the countrys top industry policy maker China will lift such restrictions on the manufacturing of special-purpose vehicles and new energy/electric vehicles in 2018, on commercial vehicles by 2020, and on passenger vehicles by 2022.
However, the National Rules remain silent on the finer details and procedures for making an application for road testing, and do not set out any objective review criteria. This would indicate that practically speaking, the Chinese authorities will have much discretion in granting the road test application approval.
