According to the Huatai Securities Research Report, recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the 401st batch of “Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements”, granting conditional licenses to each model equipped with L3 functions in Changan and BAIC Blue Valley, and making it clear that designated users will carry out road traffic pilot projects in limited regions and scenarios in the future. This license is a substantial implementation following the clear framework of the 2023 pilot notice and the selection of the first batch of 9 consortia in June 2024. It marks the shift of domestic L3 from a “pilot declaration and test evaluation” to a “pilot product entry and road access pilot”. Huatai Securities believes that L3 entry and implementation will accelerate the restructuring of the smart driving industry chain. Smart driving is expected to become an important direction for AI applications in 2026. It is recommended to focus on investment opportunities in core areas such as smart vehicles, wire-controlled chassis, domain control chips, and lidar.
