Tesla is expected to enter the China market through the national compliance requirements for automotive data security FSD.

  [Pacific Auto] On April 28th, China Automobile Industry Association and National Computer Network Emergency Technology Processing Coordination Center issued the Notice on Testing Four Safety Requirements for Automobile Data Processing (the first batch), and all the models produced by Shanghai Superfactory met the compliance requirements. It is expected that all localities will lift the prohibition and parking restrictions on peer-to-peer intelligent networked vehicles (such as government agencies, airports, highways, etc.).

  According to the public notice, Tesla, as one of the first enterprises to pass the national authoritative vehicle data testing, carried out the vehicle testing in strict accordance with the relevant laws, standards and testing procedures, and met the four compliance requirements of the national regulations and standards, such as Several Provisions on the Safety Management of Vehicle Data and GB/T 41871-2022 Safety Requirements for Information Security Technology in Vehicle Data Processing: anonymous processing of external face information, default not to collect cockpit data, and in-vehicle processing of cockpit data.

  In addition, many brands and models, including,,, Nezha and so on, also successfully passed the data security compliance test. It is reported that this test follows the principle of voluntary inspection by enterprises and evaluates the data security compliance of newly listed intelligent networked vehicles in 2022-2023.

  At present, new energy vehicles can collect a large number of diversified vehicle data by equipped with advanced sensors and intelligent systems. However, this technological progress has also brought new challenges to data security. Tesla has been concerned about data security issues before, and even restricted in some places. The announcement of the test results not only provides an official endorsement for the data security of many new energy vehicles such as Tesla, but also sets a new standard for data security for the whole industry. This progress is expected to promote the wider application of intelligent networked vehicles and strengthen consumers’ trust in new energy vehicle technology.

  It is worth mentioning that the core reason why Tesla’s FSD fully automatic driving software can’t be pushed in the mainland market is data security, and this time, the national authoritative data security test has laid a certain foundation for Tesla to promote FSD to enter the China market.

  However, despite Tesla’s deep technical accumulation in the field of intelligent driving, the competition in the domestic market is also extremely fierce. Domestic car companies have made rapid progress in the field of advanced assisted driving, and many car companies provide advanced intelligent driving functions for free. In this case, the optional cost of Tesla FSD fully autonomous driving software is as high as 64,000, which is undoubtedly a big burden for consumers. If the price cannot be reduced, even if it comes into the domestic market later, it will be difficult to obtain wide acceptance because of the high use cost.

  In addition, the road and traffic environment in China may be different from that in the United States, and Tesla may need to localize and optimize the FSD to meet the actual needs of the domestic market. Are you optimistic about Tesla FSD entering the domestic market? (Text: Pacific Auto Wu Qi)
