On March 3, on the eve of the opening of the 2024 National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, Zhu Huarong, deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Changan Automobile, submitted four proposals, three of which are related to the automotive industry and the mobility industry.
Among them, he focused on the construction of a mixed reality big science device (large-scale driving simulator) for future intelligent transportation to cope with the new risks of human, vehicle, road and cloud coupling in the future intelligent transportation system, and at the same time get rid of the dependence on the systems of the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries.
In addition, Zhu Huarong also talked about the security of automotive data in his proposal, which has attracted great attention from the market in China.
Promote the construction of large-scale driving simulators
At present, China has become the world's largest automobile producer and sales market. Therefore, it is also accompanied by a large number of driving scenarios and user data. In Zhu Huarong's view, this poses more challenges in the fields of vehicle passive safety, intelligent driving safety, and information security.
For example, he said that in the future, the coupling of people, vehicles (including autonomous vehicles, traditional human driving, robots, aircraft, etc.), roads, and clouds in the intelligent transportation system will be accompanied by new risks and new problems such as vicious accidents in extremely complex traffic scenarios, large-scale network intrusion and control, etc.
Zhu Huarong mentioned that at present, all automobile powers have built or are building future transportation mixed reality large scientific devices (large-scale driving simulators) that integrate vehicles, roads, and clouds in the environment, and reproduce, analyze and solve the above problems in a safe and controllable laboratory environment.
However, there is a gap in this area in our country," he said, "and there are many problems in this area. For example, at this stage, China's small driving simulation devices that have been built and are under construction adopt complete sets of systems from the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries, and the software and hardware are highly dependent on foreign manufacturers, which will bring risks such as data security, technical security, and economic security. ”
Therefore, Zhu Huarong suggested that the advantages of the system and mechanism should be given full play to promote the construction of large-scale devices with top-level design.
First of all, he suggested the establishment of a scientific research platform for the integration of production, education, research and application, and promoted the construction of large scientific devices. "It is recommended to jointly establish a platform for industry-university-research-application, and rely on the platform to jointly build and share the world's leading driving simulation large scientific devices and supporting software libraries and scene libraries to fill the domestic gap. Secondly, he believes that the project should be included in the national key science and technology infrastructure plan to ensure resource investment.
Zhu Huarong also said that the research and construction of this large-scale scientific device will help to research and form national and industry standards in key areas of future intelligent transportation such as chips, OS, V2X, autonomous driving, AI algorithms, and humanoid robots.
Clarify the boundaries of personal information in car data
Another proposal by Zhu Huarong involves car data security. He believes that as the automotive industry changes from "hardware-led" to "software-defined", the automobile is no longer a simple travel tool for users, and has changed from a "single industrial product" to a "new digital intelligent space" product attributes.
In fact, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, ICVs can collect large-scale and wide-coverage vehicle data by deploying multiple sensors such as cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and lidars outside the vehicle.
Previously, according to official sources, an intelligent networked car collects at least 10TB of multi-dimensional data every day, that is, it not only includes the facial expressions, movements, eyes, and voice data of drivers and passengers, but also includes the geographical location of the vehicle, the environment data inside and outside the vehicle, and the use data of the Internet of Vehicles.
In Zhu Huarong's view, the previously issued "Data Security Regulations" only clarified that some car data is personal information, but did not clarify the nature of other data, while the "Personal Information Protection**" clearly stipulates that anonymized information is not personal information, and does not clarify whether the anonymized data can be used by OEMs. At the same time, the relevant laws and regulations do not clarify the scope and ownership of non-personal information in car data.
He believes that the blurred boundaries and unclear ownership of non-personal information related to intelligent networked vehicles are not conducive to the protection of personal information, and at the same time, it is also inconvenient for car companies to legally and fully process and use relevant data, which is not conducive to the decentralization of related data from "data fragmentation" to the intensive transformation of "data granary".
Zhu Huarong mentioned in the suggestion that it is necessary to clarify the boundaries of personal information in car data. He believes that the working condition data of the vehicle itself and its parts, as well as data related to the external environment such as roads and weather, cannot identify specific individuals and should not belong to the category of personal information.
However, the correlation between different data and individuals in vehicle control data and application service data is very different, which needs to be further clarified from the legislative level.
In addition, he believes that to refine the provisions on the property rights of automobile data, it is also necessary to implement the resource holding, data processing and use rights, and data product management rights of automobile data by car companies, so as to promote data resourceization, assetization, and capitalization.
Further improve the automobile consumption environment
In addition, the automotive industry, as an important pillar industry of the national economy, plays an important role in economic growth and employment. In Zhu Huarong's view, there are still many problems in the consumption link of the automobile industry, and it is necessary to further improve the automobile consumption environment, encourage market innovation, and improve new quality productivity.
For example, when consumers buy a car, some links still do not support online processing and circulation; The flow of data is not really realized; The policies formulated by some places for the automotive industry are not uniform, or some policies in the industry are relatively lacking, resulting in the fairness of consumers' vehicle use, the fairness of brand competition, and the acceleration of vehicle upgrading. There are many intermediate channels in the auto insurance business, and the premiums are inconsistent, and the consumer insurance experience is not good.
In this regard, Zhu Huarong put forward four suggestions, first, it is recommended to implement the electronic retail invoice of automobile consumption, and the online licensing process to realize the convenience of the process, improve efficiency and reduce costs; Second, it is recommended to review and improve relevant laws, regulations, and industry regulatory requirements, accelerate the establishment of data circulation platforms and mechanisms, and empower enterprises to innovate consumer experience. Third, it is recommended to coordinate and improve the relevant policies of the automobile industry to optimize the fair competition environment of the automobile market; Fourth, it is recommended to promote the "total to total" cooperation between car companies and insurance companies, reduce intermediate links, and reduce the cost of consumer insurance purchase.
