Guangdong Pushes for L3–L4 Autonomy and Nationwide ‘Safety Sandboxes’ to Fast‑Track Driverless Traffic

Guangdong’s 2026–2035 industrial plan prioritises advanced autonomous driving, targeting accelerated development of L3 and L4 systems and the construction of full‑scenario "safety sandboxes" for large‑scale unmanned traffic trials. The initiative combines technical R&D with regulatory experimentation to bridge the gap between prototypes and commercial deployments, while raising legal, security and public‑trust challenges.
