[Li Changqing of the State Administration for Market Regulation: Resolutely prevent "radical innovation" that pursues hot spots and lacks scene verification from entering the car] On October 22, Li Changqing, a second-level inspector of the Quality Development Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation, stated at the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference that the innovation drive and safety priority should be unified. Encourage enterprises to reach new heights in cutting-edge technologies, and embed the principle of safety priority into the entire process of R&D, verification, and iteration, put an end to the short-sighted behavior of sacrificing safety for speed to market, and resolutely prevent "radical innovation" that pursues hot topics and lacks scenario verification from taking off. Li Changqing mentioned that the main responsibility of enterprises should be unified with social governance. The majority of automobile manufacturers should take the initiative to take the main responsibility for product quality and safety, strictly perform accident reporting and defect recall obligations, strictly prohibit concealment and omission, and must not allow products that have not been fully verified to be put on the road in a hurry. In addition, he expressed his insistence on the unification of quality-strong enterprises and quality-strong chains, as well as the unification of domestic governance and international mutual trust. In Li Changqing’s view, the quality and safety of intelligent connected vehicles presents three new outstanding features. First, the risk pattern has expanded from “tangible hardware” to “intangible software”. Second, the defect characteristics have shifted from "explicit and reproducible" to "intangible, digital, and difficult to reproduce". Third, the safety boundary extends from “bicycle products” to “system ecology”. (Shell Finance)
