We’ve been writing about or mentioning Momenta a lot this week. I think this is the 4th time, and I don’t believe we’ve ever covered it before.
Today we got news that Momenta has received approval from the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) to do Level 4 autonomous driving testing across Germany — on urban roads. This is the first Chinese company to receive such approval.
Furthermore, “its safety validation standards will be directly aligned with the European Union’s regulatory framework,” CnEVPost shares. “The KBA is regarded as one of the world’s most stringent transport safety regulators, and its approval is seen as an endorsement of the maturity of Momenta’s technology.”
So, one would expect the company will quickly expand into other European countries, such as the Netherlands, France, and Belgium.
