The Guidelines proposes that by 2020，a standard system for intelligent connected vehicles supporting assisted driving and low-level automated vehicles will be initially established，and by 2025，a standard system for smart networked automobiles supporting high-level automated vehicles will be formed. The purpose of promulgation of the Guidelines is to implement the strategic deployment of Made in China 2025，accelerate the development of China’s intelligent connected vehicles industry，and play the role of guiding and standardizing technical standards. However，at present，many problems in the field of automated vehicles have not been solved in the legal aspect，such as network security，data security and accident liability.
