SHANGHAI/BEIJING - If Tesla succeeds in bringing its "Full Self-Driving" system to China , the world's largest car market, the U.S. electric-car pioneer will be shifting into the fast lane of the global race toward autonomous vehicles .
Those two giants are among at least 10 automakers and suppliers that have unveiled driver-assistance systems over the past two years that can navigate city streets and make turns at intersections. Others include EV makers Xpeng and Li Auto, and Xiaomi, the smartphone maker that recently introduced its first car, an instant hit.
Driver-assistance features now offered in China are "level two" systems, meaning they require a driver ready to take over. Tesla's FSD and its less-advanced options of Autopilot, are also level-two systems requiring attentive drivers. Zhang said Tesla's autonomous-vehicle development in China could have the same impact: "It would be the 'catfish effect' for the second half of the game."At the Beijing auto show that opened last week, Chinese automakers and suppliers touted "level-two-plus" driver-assistance systems with more advanced sensors and displays. While they are not cleared by regulators for hands-off-the-wheel driving, some are designed to be with future software upgrades.
Musk has pushed for that data to be able to be made available for training its self-driving technology outside China, people familiar with Musk’s discussions with Chinese officials have said. It's not clear what progress, if any, Musk made on data transfers with Chinese officials he visited in Beijing, including Premier Li Qiang.
China won't be the only battlefield. It's critical for China's self-driving technology industry, He said, to start "making its mark on international markets outside its own turf."Ethan Hawke Lost the Oscar for ‘Training Day’ and Denzel Washington Whispered in His Ear That Losing Was Better: ‘You Don’t Want an Award to Improve Your Status’
