China Resumes Robotaxi Permits After Three-Month Freeze, Impacting Autonomous Driving Sector

China Resumes Robotaxi Permits After Three-Month Freeze, Impacting Autonomous Driving Sector

China has resumed issuing robotaxi permits after a three-month suspension that began on April 29. The freeze was initially triggered by a mass outage on March 31, where over 100 Baidu Apollo Go robotaxis stalled simultaneously in Wuhan, leaving passengers stranded and causing several collisions. The suspension required operators to conduct industry-wide safety reviews, halting new robotaxi deployments. The review concluded in late June, and permits are now being issued gradually on a city-by-city basis. Shenzhen was the first city to amend its connected vehicle rules, allowing new robotaxi deployments. Momenta and Baidu are among the first operators to receive new permits, with Baidu shares rising 4.1% following the announcement.
