China court: Drivers still responsible despite autonomous vehicle
China’s top court has issued a ruling confirming humans in cars with assisted driving technology are responsible for their vehicle, setting a nationwide benchmark as Beijing positions itself as a standards-setter in the auto market.

“The on-board assisted driving system cannot replace the driver as the primary driving subject,” the Supreme People’s Court said in the Friday ruling.
The driver “is still the one who actually performs the driving tasks and bears the responsibility to ensure driving safety,” it added.
While most such systems currently used on the road specify that the driver is ultimately in control of the car, the court’s ruling now makes that a legal standard nationwide.
