Autonomous driving technology company Autobrains announced it is expanding its partnership with Nvidia, and will use Nvidia's Alpamayo 2 Super model to train specialized driving agents for different road scenarios.
Autobrains said the expanded partnership builds on earlier L4 autonomous driving projects in Southeast Asia and Munich, Germany, effectively extending their joint development experience to more driving scenarios.
Notably, the timing of the partnership announcement coincides with China's acceleration of autonomous driving regulations.
China has issued the mandatory national standard "Safety Requirements for Autonomous Driving Systems of Intelligent Connected Vehicles," and in 2025 granted conditional market access permits to two L3 (conditional autonomous driving) models, with policy clearly moving toward nationwide autonomous driving oversight.
Brokerage research firm Pacific Securities noted that China is accelerating the rollout of high-level autonomous driving, and the implementation of the national autonomous driving standard effectively marks the start of the L4 era.
