China will implement mandatory safety requirements for vehicles with Level 3 and Level 4 automated driving systems starting July 1, 2027, mandating safety standards at least equivalent to attentive human drivers and no unreasonable risk to occupants or other road users.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 7 sources have reported it between 4 Aug 2026 and 10 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

China's new safety rules raise the bar for autonomous vehicles on its roads. If you build or sell Level 3 or 4 systems there, you must now ensure your technology matches or exceeds human driver safety or risk being blocked.
