The recently highly-anticipated mandatory national standard "Technical requirements and test methods for automatic emergency braking systems for light vehicles" has completed its drafting and entered the public consultation stage. This standard will replace the current national standard GB/T 39901-2021, and the deadline for public consultation is June 30, 2025. Compared to the current standard, this new standard has changed from being recommended to mandatory, and its scope has been expanded. The standard requires that "M1 and N1 category vehicles should be equipped with automatic emergency braking systems." Additionally, the standard has increased the assessment of the recognition abilities for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and riders of pedal-type two-wheeled motorcycles, and has added new simulation testing items. This means that in the future, all passenger cars must be equipped with automatic emergency braking systems (referred to as "AEBS"). AEBS, also known as active braking or automatic emergency braking systems, can effectively reduce rear-end collisions caused by driver distraction, fatigue driving, and other factors. In 2023, different interpretations of AEBS even led to a "verbal battle" between Huawei and XPeng Motors. (Securities Times)
