China Bans Foldable Screens in Cars

China's MIIT proposes a draft notice banning foldable and flexible displays in vehicles by January 1, 2027. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, alongside three other agencies, requires mechanical redundancy for door handles and physical controls for safety functions. Manufacturers must complete 30,000 kilometers of reliability testing and submit validation materials by July 1, 2027, or face immediate recalls.
