China national intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) framework

China's national framework for autonomous (intelligent connected) vehicles. Centered on the 17 Nov 2023 Notice on launching the pilot work for access and on-road operation of intelligent connected vehicles, issued jointly by MIIT, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Transport, which permits qualified Level 3 and Level 4 ICVs (passenger and freight) on roads in restricted areas of qualified cities under a manufacturer-plus-user consortium model; together with the 2021 Norms for the Administration of Road Testing and Demonstration Applications of ICVs and the GB national driving-automation standards. Autonomous-truck operation (e.g. Inceptio's L2+/L3 fleets, and Pony.ai's first-in-China cross-provincial robotruck platooning approval on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei corridor, Jan 2025) falls under this national framework; there is no separate national robotruck statute.
