China's Mandatory ADAS National Standards Take Effect — A Deep Dive into New Opportunities for the Autonomous Driving Industry
Overview
This report provides a systematic analysis of the mandatory national standard "Safety Requirements for Combined Driver Assistance Systems of Intelligent Connected Vehicles" (GB 47955–2026), released in June 2026, and its implications for the L2 ADAS industry. It further examines the standard's potential impact on the development of L3 autonomous driving, with focused discussions on driver monitoring systems and automotive-grade storage. Finally, by benchmarking against the UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29)'s updated technical regulation for combined driving assistance systems (UN R171, April 2026), the report offers directional insights on the global expansion of China's L2 ADAS capabilities.
What the Full Report Will Cover
The report identifies the supply chain segments that stand to benefit directly from the implementation of this standard, covering hardware and software products in areas such as gaze monitoring, hands-off detection, and automotive-grade storage. It also examines how advancements in these areas will facilitate the deployment of similar products in L3 and L4 autonomous driving going forward. In addition, the report analyzes how the standard serves as a catalyst for Chinese OEMs in expanding their L2 ADAS products to global markets.
