L3 Autonomous Driving
Chinese automakers are also advancing high‑level autonomous driving in line with government policy. BYD, Xpeng, Li Auto, Changan Deepal, and Arcfox have obtained L3 test permits and are conducting pilot operations on designated roads, gathering real‑world data to refine vehicle AI, sensor integration, and cloud connectivity. MIIT has granted market access for the first batch of L3 vehicles, enabling controlled deployment of conditionally autonomous passenger cars. These developments position 2026 as a key year for L3 commercialisation in China, illustrating significant progress toward the government’s smart mobility and intelligent vehicle objectives.
