Geely has made a historic leap by becoming the first global car manufacturer to receive the ISO-PAS certification for the safety of artificial intelligence systems in road vehicles, issued by the German accreditation body DAkkS. Introduced in December 2022, this certification represents the first authoritative global standard for AI safety in the automotive industry. This is not just another certificate – it marks a fundamental shift from mere compliance to a comprehensive approach to safety throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle. Geely holds an impressive 1,000 patents in vehicle safety technologies, according to the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC). In addition to the ISO-PAS certification, Geely has also obtained dual ISO functional safety certificates from German bodies DAkkS and ANAB. The Chinese giant is not stopping there – it is building a complete AI-based safety system encompassing functions, software, hardware, chips, and supply chains. The certification is just the beginning, as Geely has introduced specialized technical training programs and AI safety lifecycle management, strengthening the expertise of its engineering teams and ensuring intelligent driving features deliver both performance and protection. While others are still pondering AI, Geely is already setting new standards and showing how it’s done. If you think AI in cars is just a marketing gimmick, think again – Geely has just raised the bar globally. So, would you ride in a car that passed such rigorous checks? Or do you prefer to rely on luck and the human factor? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for the future and who’s stuck in the past!
