At the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference in Beijing on October 21, Changan Automobile chairman Zhao Fei said the industry is expected to reach mass production of L3 autonomous driving in 2027 and commercial operation of L4 in 2028. In his keynote, he also said the Changan Nevo Q06 drew close to 50% of its first-month orders for the urban navigation-assisted version, a company figure. Zhao argued that cars will be the earliest and fastest-scaling载体 for on-device physical AI, and called safety the non-negotiable baseline, noting Changan has taken part in drafting more than 360 international, national and industry standards.
