As competition heats up in the world’s largest EV market, the spotlight is on advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -More than 70 Chinese and international automotive brands will showcase more than 100 new or refreshed models at the Shanghai auto show this week, intensifying already cutthroat competition in the world's premier market for electric vehicles and hybrids. Top-selling Chinese brands such as BYD and Geely are expected to take centre stage at the show from April 23 to May 2, while foreign automakers such as Volkswagen, Nissan, Toyota and General Motors' Cadillac brand will also jostle for attention. As a years-long consumer price war in China drags on, next-generation automated-driving features have become the next front in the battle for vehicle sales and profits.

China is banning automakers from using the terms "smart driving" and "autonomous driving" when they advertise driving assistance features, and will tighten rules around such technology upgrades, the government told industry representatives, according to a transcript of a meeting.

This will be the 5th time for the Nio brand to participate in the Shanghai auto show, and the first time for Onvo and Firefly to make their debut at the show.
