On December 15, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology made an announcement, granting access approval for China's inaugural batch of L3-level conditionally autonomous driving vehicle models. This milestone means that two specific vehicle models are now cleared to embark on on-road pilot tests within designated zones in Beijing and Chongqing. This development represents a significant leap forward, as it signifies the official transition of China's L3-level autonomous driving from the testing phase into a pivotal stage of commercial deployment.
