Huawei Executive Reveals L3/L4 Autonomous Driving Rollout Timeline as…

Huawei's autonomous driving unit outlined a rollout timeline from L4 pilots in 2026 through large-scale L3 deployment in 2027 and robotaxi operations by 2028. China's MIIT simultaneously released draft mandatory safety standards for L3/L4 systems, the country's first, setting performance benchmarks equivalent to a competent human driver and differentiated requirements for each level. China just published its first mandatory autonomous driving standards, and Huawei has already timed a commercial rollout against them. If you're building perception, safety validation, or ODD management tooling for L3/L4 in China, you have a regulatory floor and a customer timeline—both starting now.
