Liu Fawang

Liu Fawang is the Deputy Director of the Equipment Industry Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in China. He has recently been in the news for discussing the implications of newly granted conditional access permits for two L3-level autonomous vehicles. Liu emphasized that while these permits are a significant step towards testing and potential commercialization, they do not equate to immediate mass production of autonomous vehicles. He highlighted the importance of a systematic approach to ensure safety and regulatory compliance as the industry advances towards wider adoption of autonomous driving technology.
