China Resumes Issuing Robotaxi Licences After Long Freeze China's robotaxi industry has been given a new lease on life as authorities have lifted a months long freeze on issuing licences following a high profile safety review.
The decision to revive the sector reflects Beijing's ambitions in autonomous driving technology, but it also raises questions about the government's willingness to prioritize progress over caution.
The resumption of robotaxi permits is happening gradually across various cities, with companies like Momenta Global and Baidu restarting their trials and operations.
