Tech

Autonomous Cars Advance with AI, Face Safety and Regulatory Hurdles

Chinese and Western companies are advancing autonomous driving technology, integrating AI assistants and enabling vehicles to make more decisions. Despite progress, current systems remain at Level 2++, with human drivers responsible. Challenges include handling extreme weather and edge cases, determining liability in accidents, and cybersecurity threats. Regulatory frameworks are developing globally, with some countries like the UK assigning liability to manufacturers, while others, like the US, are restricting Chinese-linked autonomous technology due to security concerns. Israel is also preparing regulations for advanced autonomous systems, expected by mid-2027, while its military has expressed data security concerns regarding Chinese vehicles.
