Groupe PSA has obtained a licence to start autonomous driving tests on open roads in China (Chongqing).

Groupe PSA’s autonomous car experience in Europe helps it to adapt to the local environment to meet Chinese market needs. The challenge is to integrate Groupe PSA’s technology into the Chinese ecosystem with special cases since the environment, infrastructure, map system and road users are different.

Groupe PSA is the first car manufacturer to have tested the autonomous car on open roads in France from July 2015 onwards, as well as the first carmaker to obtain the authorizations to carry out autonomous mode tests with “non-expert” drivers in March 2017.
