Standards sought for self-driving cars

China should set technology standards to regulate self-driving cars, two Internet and automobile gurus told an annual gathering of the country's top political advisory body on Thursday.

"Most of the existing laws and regulations do not fit the development of self-driving vehicles," said Robin Li, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and CEO of Internet giant Baidu.
