- Volkswagen Group China received a permit to test Level 3 autonomous driving on public roads in Hefei, and testing is already underway.
- Volkswagen Group China can collect large-scale driving data in Hefei under the same permit, which the company describes as the latest step toward L3 technology readiness in China by 2027.
Why it matters: Volkswagen Group China gains a public-road testing ground in Hefei and permission to collect large-scale driving data, two concrete inputs to its stated L3 readiness target for 2027. With tests already underway, the approval is an active development step rather than a permit-only milestone.
