Li Changqing, a second-level inspector of the Quality Development Bureau of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, said at the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference that it insists on unifying innovation drive with safety priorities. To encourage enterprises to rise to the peak in cutting-edge technology, it is also necessary to embed safety priority principles into the entire R&D, verification, and iteration process, put an end to short-sighted behavior that sacrifices safety in exchange for speed of listing, and resolutely prevent “aggressive innovation” that pursues hot spots and lacks scenario verification from entering the vehicle. Li Changqing mentioned that adhering to the unification of corporate responsibility and social co-governance, the vast majority of automobile manufacturers should take the initiative to shoulder the main responsibility for product quality and safety, strictly implement accident reports and defect recall obligations, strictly prohibit concealment or omission of reports, and never let products that have not been fully verified rush onto the road. Furthermore, he stated that he insists on unifying strong quality enterprises with a strong quality chain, and insisting on unifying domestic governance with international mutual trust. According to Li Changqing, the quality and safety of intelligent connected vehicles has shown three new outstanding characteristics. First, the risk pattern has expanded from “tangible hardware” to “intangible software.” Second, defect characteristics are shifting from “explicitly reproducible” to “intangible, digitized, and difficult to reproduce.” Third, the safety boundary extends from “bicycle products” to “system ecology.”
