Spain's Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) granted AVOMO CARS the first national authorization for testing Level 4 autonomous passenger vehicles in Spain. This authorization represents a milestone in the implementation of autonomous robotaxis in the country.
AVOMO CARS results from a partnership between technology company WeRide and mobility platform Uber. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development and implementation of autonomous transport services in the Spanish market.
Level 4 vehicles are defined as fully autonomous driving systems in specific geographic areas, where the vehicle can operate without human intervention under controlled conditions. This classification represents a significant step forward from the driver assistance systems currently available.
The authorization granted by the DGT now allows AVOMO CARS to proceed with testing on Spanish public roads, marking the formal beginning of the autonomous robotaxi era in Spain.
