自動駕駛車引入中國，這三條規定一定要知道！

Though major cities in China, including Beijing and Shanghai, have previously announced their own rules for testing self-driving cars, the country has decided to roll out self-driving car test rules nationally in an attempt to harmonize rules across the country, and to keep pace with the global rush to develop autonomous vehicles,reports foreign media.

據外媒報道，儘管中國主要城市，像是北京和上海，之前宣佈了他們自己測試無人駕駛汽車的規則，但是爲了試圖協調全國的規則並跟上全球發展自主汽車的腳步，國家已決定推出全國性的無人駕駛汽車測試規則。

China's new rules for testing self-driving cars have three main components:

中國測試無人駕駛汽車的新規定有三個主要組成部分:

All cars must first be tested in non-public zones.

所有汽車必須首先在非公共區域進行測試。

Road tests can only be on designated streets.

道路測試只能在指定的街道上進行。

A qualified driver must always be in the driver's seat, ready to take over control.

一個合格的司機必須時刻坐在駕駛座上，隨時準備接管控制權。

Announcing the new rules, Xin Guobin, the vice minister of the Ministry of Industry of Information Technology, said that the recent crashes in the United States involving Tesla and Uber have ensured that China will make self-driving car safety a top priority:

信息技術工業部副部長辛國斌在宣佈新規則時表示，最近在美國發生的涉及Tesla和Uber的撞車事故，確保了中國將自動駕駛汽車的安全放在首位:

“To ensure the safety of road tests, we will not only require that road tests take place on prescribed streets, but also that the test driver sits in the driver position throughout, monitoring the car and the surrounding environment, and ready to take control of the car at any time.

"爲了確保道路測試的安全性，我們不僅要求在規定的街道上進行道路測試，還要求測試駕駛員全程坐在司機的位置，監控汽車和周圍的環境，隨時準備好控制汽車。

This is a lesson that we have learned from the accidents faced by Uber and Tesla.”

這是我們從Uber和Tesla所面臨的事故中學到的教訓。
