Level 4 autonomy

Japan EV Shift: Autonomy Push Meets AI Reality

Japan is preparing a major autonomous driving communications strategy to support Level 4 vehicles, with a target of 10,000 self-driving buses, taxis, and trucks by fiscal 2030. At the same time, new Chinese smart-driving test results show that even leading systems from suppliers such as Huawei, Horizon, and Zeekr still struggle in complex real-world scenarios—highlighting that the future of autonomous EVs depends on infrastructure as much as software.
