Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD said on Wednesday it has obtained a conditional testing license for level 3 (L3) autonomous driving on high-speed roads.
BYD was granted the first such license in China in July, the company said in a statement on its official Weibo account.
Earlier in December, BMW Group said it had received a test license for L3 self-driving on high-speed roads in Shanghai, while Mercedes Benz said it would carry out L3 tests on designated highways in Beijing.
IM Motors, the EV brand of state-owned Chinese automaker SAIC Motor, has said it is also applying to China's industry ministry for product entry of L3 cars.
