Recently, Huang Gang, President of Rino.ai, was invited to attend the “Vehicle-Road-Cloud 50 Forum: Unmanned Delivery Industry Development Seminar and Launch Ceremony of the Intelligent Unmanned Vehicle Special Working Group” held at Tsinghua University.
He shared key insights on core topics including industry classification, unified road access policies, scenario expansion, and safety compliance, providing recommendations to support the standardized and scalable development of the Autonomous Delivery Vehicles industry.
Identity and Regulatory Framework Urgently Need Clarification: Proposal to Include Unmanned Vehicles in Motor Vehicle Management with Targeted Exemptions
On the issue of unmanned logistics vehicle classification, Huang Gang, President of Rino.ai, noted that as industry scale has already reached tens of thousands of units, unclear identity definitions and the lack of unified national regulations and standards could hinder sustainable development.
In the long term, unmanned logistics vehicles—as intelligent evolution of motor vehicles operating on public roads—may need to be incorporated into the motor vehicle regulatory framework. However, existing regulations should be revised accordingly, including exemptions for designs without traditional components such as driver cabins and steering wheels.
He emphasized the need to strike a balance: neither loosening regulation and causing disorder, nor rushing reforms that could hinder innovation. Rino.ai is willing to actively participate in and support the formulation of relevant standards.
Expanding into Broader Urban Delivery Scenarios While Upholding Safety for Sustainable Development
Regarding application scenarios and operational standards for unmanned logistics vehicles, Huang Gang, President of Rino.ai, noted that last-mile express delivery is currently the most mature use case. The industry is now steadily expanding into new scenarios such as supermarket replenishment, cold-chain pharmaceuticals, and county-level and rural logistics.
Each expansion of scenarios brings new risk challenges. While pursuing cost reduction and efficiency gains, companies must maintain respect for road safety and public governance, ensuring that development stays within safety boundaries for long-term sustainability.
At the meeting, Rino.ai, as a co-organizer, participated in the release of the “Autonomous Delivery Industry Ecosystem Self-Regulation Declaration” and witnessed the establishment of the Intelligent Unmanned Vehicle Special Working Group. Going forward, the company will continue to promote standardized, high-quality industry development through technological innovation and compliant operations.
