TACKLING CHALLENGES The past two years saw different industries experiencing different pace, opportunities and pressures of development, which has impacted the work of in-house teams differently. Li Auto Inc., a key player on the smart EV industry, has witnessed the industry’s rise in the early days to intensive competition now. To Zhang Jianxiao, Head of Data Compliance and Legal Research team of Li Auto Inc., the smart EV industry is constantly strengthening technology integration and prioritizing innovation. “Smart EVs not only embody the finest craft of automotive engineering, but also integrate cutting-edge technologies such as electronic information and communications technology, so that the vehicles are not only smart themselves but can also interact with the external environment intelligently. Innovation is constantly happening in each and every aspect of the industry chain, from the perception system, control system and communications system on the upstream, to smart cockpit and autonomous driving in the midstream, and even downstream whole vehicle manufacturing and after-market services.” “On the other hand, the law possesses stability and a degree of lag. Technology integration and rapid innovation will thus cause greater uncertainty to legal compliance. For issues such as legislative gaps that emerge during the development of cutting-edge products, the in-house team must be able to expertly balance innovative development and compliance risks,” says Zhang. “Further, China attaches great importance to the development of the smart EV industry. Policies and regulations not only provide the fertile soil for technological innovation, but also inject strong impetus into industry upscaling.
