China Reining In Smart Driving Tech Weeks After Fatal Crash

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a meeting last week with at least a dozen automakers to issue tightened rules over driver assistance technology, in a move that may slow the deployment of such systems by manufacturers.

According to a statement released by the agency on Wednesday about the meeting, automakers will now be required to be clearer about what the technology can and can’t do and improve safety precautions. Manufacturers also can’t exaggerate or falsely advertise driver assistance features.
