On June 4, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Transport of China confirmed the first batch of 9 pilot consortia, including auto companies such as BYD, FAW, CHANGAN, GAC, and NIO. They will launch the pilot programs for the access and on-road travel of intelligent connected vehicles in seven cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. And the pilot products cover passenger cars, buses, and trucks.
The organization and implementation of the pilot program are divided into five stages, which are the pilot application, product access pilot, on-road travel pilot, pilot suspension and exit, evaluation, and adjustment. It is important to note that the selection of pilot applications does not mean that intelligent connected vehicles with autonomous driving functions have obtained access permits or are allowed to travel on the road.
During the pilot process, the product functions, performance, and safety of intelligent connected vehicles will be strictly tested and evaluated. And the pilot results will provide data support for the mass production and promotion of intelligent connected vehicles. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of intelligent connected vehicles, such vehicles possess a high degree of autonomous driving capability and can achieve unmanned driving under certain conditions.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?
In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
